As this plays into the larger historical narrative of redlining, discriminatory lending practices, racial disparity of wealth, certain neighborhoods being singled out and held back from improving over time due to their racial makeup, etc. the optics certainly aren't very good for the appraiser and her company.

@Victoria Redlin, A QI 1031 firm can set up a Reverse Exchange for you where they take title to the new property and hold it for up to 180 days until your old property sells. 

Michaela, interesting that Atlanta would be so blatant in red lining, I can see their thinking but not so much as to extreme tactic as ignoring entire neighborhoods.

The red lines denote where the ads stop and organic starts.Moral of this story is that if you want to be *anywhere* near the top of the page, you have to pay for it. 

So basically, need a 12 month refinance loan for both houses.Please note that Peak Asset Lending, which proudly advertises themselves as a good local lender, is quite picky and actually is executing a form of redlining and will not fund projects in all of the city.

I think he means traditional lenders with conventional terms, the answer it Yes, HI is a US State and any bank can't not lend, there are laws called "red lineing" where banks lend to only certain ares and get in trouble for not lending to those areas. 

Even though this would also be an equally small loan, banks can't turn those down if your credit is otherwise good because that is considered red-lining which is illegal for owner-occupied loans.

South and Southwest sides (follow the Orange line, Green line, and Red line) are much more affordable and just as stable.

At it's core, it's about ensuring that banking services are provided to low income communities - specifically areas that banks "redlined" when no government intervention was involved. 

Yes, I’m biased, but it's my article, so we’re going to check out Tennessee and use tons of semicolons, which my former boss (hi Nick) always redlined.
