The community here on BP is great about supporting each other.

They also have a support ticket system and customer support contact number that sends you directly to a human being.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the economy supports those numbers.

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...

If you see at least a few zoned in the designations you mentioned above, that's potentially a good sign that you can get support from the local Alderman's office, and approval by the ZBA (zoning board of appeals), to rezone.

People in the group are great, positive, and supporting. 

Do you have a support channel for ongoing questions?
