I haven't had much joy with the visits converting, but that's probably my fault.I run my own mailing lists and they're good for getting repeat visitors to sites, and for keeping people in the forefront of your mind.

- Huge capital replacement reserves - I have worked with Fannie loans and thought I was accustomed to the capital replacement reserves, but apparently HUD loans look into the entire duration of the loan when calculating the replacement reserves; so if I took a 35 year loan, the HUD officer would take into consideration all the windows/doors/capex that I would need over the entire 35 year in coming up with the capital reserve requirement- Pricey annual audit - for an apartment building and loan my size (65 units/ ~10mm), this would run me about $10k a year, just another cost to take into considerationDarryl is right, these loans are suitable for large entities with larger and more diverse portfolios.
