Here’s a scenario where it might be beneficial to both parties.  

I would look at it in terms of whether you can afford a worst case scenario where you're covering the deductible and have a credit line or cash to front the re-build cost and getting reimbursed from insurance afterwards.

Best case scenario for you maybe do a “utility allowance “.  

This doesn’t necessarily sound realistic in a real world scenario. 

I really like having multiple opportunities to make income from 1 property, including a worst scenario of converting all the units to LTR. 

A common mistake in my area is to ignore Hotel Occupancy Tax.

Same thing as Bankrate for example they use a very specific model to price those rates and scenarios like 740 Fico, 70LTV, 15 year term and the APR is never really talked about when it comes to margin and points charged.So when your fico score, LTV, loan size or DTI deviates from that very specific loan scenario then they say in all websites required by law "rates are subject to change" hint hint! 

There is a potential scenario where an outside rescue fund (marketed as preferred equity to new investors) could come into play in many of the projects that appear to be performing especially if they have been paying the pref (via a reserve account stockpiled by over raising funds in the beginning).

I feel this gives me the flexibility to find the right solution for my client and not just sell what my bank offers.I'll also throw in my 2 cents on common differences I've seen in my career:CDFIs - Because of their subsidized financing structure, they have the ability to be a low cost lender (and sometimes provide grants).

There is almost no scenario where a condo would ever positive cash flow while servicing debt, and very little positive cash flow with no debt.If your budget only allows for a condo, find a better place to put your money to work.
