When I was a renter, I thought that nonrefundable fees were exploitative, as I took excellent care of the properties and left them in pristine condition.  

Excellent at deed research, problem solving, affordable, they find title problems others miss and get them resolved.

If they stay low a long time and you take the money you save and use it to pay down the principal, you may have made an excellent choice.My opinion is most people are better off with fixed rate loans.

There is excellent training on 2 or more units.

Even though I'm making more money than I've ever made in my life and my credit score is excellent - I don't qualify until I have 2 years of self employment income to show for it. 

You must excel in some way to do well because of all the competition down there.  

Thanks guys for the excellent input! 

Excellent.

This seems especially reasonable for a remote property with a lot of cash invested.Thanks for all the excellent feedback!

Since you're not going to occupy it, you'll not get the excellent rates that are available right now for those that do occupy.
