If you are really determined to get this one done, the best answer is another lender (and an extended timeline), or pay through the nose to get it done fast with this guy.

I've smelt and seen things that my nose and eyes will never recover from.

He didn't pay December and was pulling my PM by the nose that he'll just be little late which became "I can't afford this place anymore so I'm moving out by the end of the month" which now became "I need a few more days to move out" which became a month and a half total time of unpaid rent and counting.All notices have been posted on time by the PM, during the "I need a few more days to move out" I had my PM prep the eviction package which is ready to submit but she claims we need to wait another 3 days since this month's rent is now overdue so she needs to post another 3 day notice and only afterwards we can file.

They turned their nose up.  

They are the world's 8th largest economy and banks all over Europe and even in the U.S. have large exposure (one reason Bank of America's stock took a nose dive).

I can't think of very many people who would turn up their nose at that.And yeah, I'm attending the closing.

From then on she couldn't stop talking about all the little children.She was a hard nose business lady and financially astute for her formal education, she had worked hard (worked in an airplane factory during the war) and had done very well with her husband who had passed away about 15 years prior.

Until the city comes up with a REASONABLE solution to the inspection issue most will choose to thumb their noses at the requirement.

Arrgh, so I have to park my license at at brokerage for 2 years here in California.Since I have to bide my time, might as well learn and do what I am interested in. . .I plan on investing in apartment buildings, repositioning strip malls, industrial properties/storage facilities, brokering commerial loans, etc. . .My question, can a snot nosed noob start in a COMMERCIAL real estate office, or do you brokers only take seasoned professionals?

I ran to the car, grabbed my portable voice recorded, shoved it under the tenants nose, (I'm 5"2", so I had a long way to reach) and said, "you have something to say, you say it in this.
