hi,i also have a mouse problem in the 1st floor unit of a 3 unit condo building in dorchester, ma. 

@Robert Biggerstaff It is illegal in Massachusetts for the security deposit to be more than the monthly rent.

I've heard stories where someone opened a simple credit card prior to closing on their mortgage and it delayed the process.This may be different if you're using the same lending institution for both the HELOC and the refinance, just make sure if the loans are going through two different departments that everyone is on the same page.Best of luck! 

And fico is down the list at what my commercial banks look at for multi million dollar loans I get.. those are based on the 3 Cs  Character  Capacity Collateral   and of course experience and length of time with the institution.. now this is for my development and construction loans..

@Stef Klynn I'm licensed in MA, not NH, but down there, you covering the baseboards is considered "Unauthorized Deleading" (UD) and you would never get a lead cert on that unit.

@Craig Ts You can also add institutional money to fund larger deals
