A while back, I stumbled onto a thread where someone suggested using Dunn Edwards floating feather and a swiss coffee ceiling/trim combination.  

I would probably not lend you rehab money on a second if it would put you over 65% Combined LTV (CLTV) and/or under about 1.1% DCR), even if your future income numbers could come true.I'm surely NOT trying to discourage you, but suggesting that you get the "weird" out of your numbers before talking to anyone about a loan.

That will tell the story.If it is a high score then that combined with a positive check on job, income, previous landlord etc. should be fine.

As many areas have already seen that level of appreciation in the last 12 months, a combined 30-40% rise in MLS retail prices within 24 months seems to me at least unsustainable.

Basically, you are either making the money on the cash flow (Cap Rate) or the appreciation or a combination of both. 

It's in a hot town with lots of young professionals, so I am going for a clean modern look.

Cozy.co website can send the combined application and screening that applicant pays for with their own credit card on your behalf and you get the application and reports once completed.

When acquiring these old gems, or objective is to improve their energy efficiency by a minimum of 50% (40% on newer, post War houses) while updating the building to provide modern, healthy living spaces for our tenants.  

Some states it is a combination of those factors.2) In the vast majority of tax lien states, you must foreclose in order to take the property.

Mainly because it combines what I like: finance, real estate, and business strategy.
