I use patterned ones that look like granite or marble or quartz or similar so that stains and minor scratches don't show, and don't use a shiny surface - use as close to matte as possible - and light colors. 

 But to be fair, besides people not being happy with those kinds of houses anymore, builders couldn't build them and make any money due to high costs of planning, permitting, sewer and water hook ups, electric hook ups, etc.Well, we do have this Tiny House fad right now, but can someone explain to me how these are any better than an old fashioned trailer?  

Get the lender to explain the items to you- Dont make surface level comparisons of monthly payments or APR.

If you specifically like the thought of a line of credit then you are going to have to do it the old fashioned way and apply at banks and see what they offer you.

That may very well be the case in a practical sense as a judge may just toss the case if the judge sees the mortgage is being paid on a timely fashion.

Sharma,Just a few things on the surface the deal looks great in terms of gained equity for the price plus injected costs to renovate/repair.

Swim to the surface! 

They also do not work in a timely fashion so if it’s a rental that could be a problemJust food for thoughtFor us what we make sure we do is service and maintain our equipment like hvac and appliances which often leads to longer life spans

Chipping or peeling paint on the interior & exterior surfaces is definitely something they look for.
