The 0% interest period was generally 12 - 18 months.

My go-to with smaller value properties is a commercial loan, which usually is based on either 15% or 20% down and my favorite lender locally for this is currently between 5%-6% depending on the rate-lock period (between 3-10 years) and the loan is amortized over 20 years.That's my go-to strategy. 

Period.

I will not be living in this home.My thoughts;Put myself on the title now, then wait the seasoning period.

All agent needs to know is price, close date, inspection period, any other contingencies, financing with POF, EMD, there might be some other small details but these are the main ones

I have also not seen any patrons going into the restaurant next door over a 10 minute period.  

If you have evidence that they knew about the termites for a long period of time and failed to report it, then you could charge them.

I personally know this landlord and have had sit-down conversations with him periodically over the last few years. 

If a tenant is breaking their lease to leave, we will work with them, but we make them cover the gap period between tenants as "still their responsibility" - and we let them know we are really good to get the unit filled quickly - so it is a joint effort to save the tenant money, and to fill the unit quickly.All the best!

Are there institutions with better terms like longer payoff period, interest only, no minimum draw, or something else I'm not thinking of?
