Any 2nd lender has a much higher risk of a loss from the DOS, and that's if they can even wrap their head around the title/loan name issue.

If/when you get a bad/young/ahole Inspector, you have little choice but to go over their heads...usually the Head Building Inspector will do, but once I had to call the City Manager.Generally speaking, an Inspector cannot look at anything except the items that are on that specific permit and are due to be inspected that day...

If you're having this much trouble communicating virtually with your property manager, I suggest possibly heading to their direct office and request a copy.

Just a heads up, be very careful buying half renovated properties.

I believe i have a bit of post traumatic stress and also what i call in my head house insecurity, I fear becoming homeless again.

Also, most seasoned commercial agents don't want to deal with non-experienced agents trying to do commercial.Also, why did you say mixed-use in the heading? 

I haven't heard much about Durham but I do know the Columbus population on a percentage basis is growing at a rapid rate.

As far as I know, there is No state where a licensed broker can’t pay a referral fee to a Florida broker. since you are an agent, assuming you are a member if your mls....you have access to the Fl Legal Hotline for agents.....your broker can guide you. gents/brokerages in other states should also know this off the top of their head. 

I convinced them to keep it open but I'm not sure where to head next.

@Wale Lawal hit the nail on the head.
