The N/E (NJ,NY CT & Mass) have stringent building codes compared to other areas of the country, that might have something to do with the differences of our opinions.

Their advice is generic and made to entertain a mass audience. 

Asking is $200K, my relative (buyer) looking to put 20% down.He is pre-approved for the amount, lender has prepared both a conventional loan and a mass housing loan option for first time buyers.Would be purchasing as an owner occupied "primary residence", rates are decent under both options.Condo is currently rented, tenant lease expires the end of August - roughly 4 months.Lender says both loan programs require buyer to occupy the unit within 60 days, to qualify for first time buyer deals.Is there a way to get them to extend this to 120 days (4 months) until the tenant lease is up?

If you just lost $20,000 on a previous evection, I would talk to that attorney to be sure you are handling this one correct for Mass. 

Mark is making meta, AI girlfriend and all those thing that started destroying society again.There was a time that I think these thing should not be available to the masses, only should be use to homeowner only LOL oops I meant technical people.buy yeah, you are right.

In the next 5-10 years could AI cause a major disruption in the economy due to mass workers being laid off?

Any time the gubmit injects itself into a free market economy, there later are inevitably mass imbalances and disruptions in the economy.

And if the masses don't, then I'd bet on something breaker sooner than later which would then make rates change earlier.

It's the largest city by land mass in the US, so there are great pockets that many people miss on because they only look at zip codes.

one BIG problem that we've seen from one HML to another HML is that during bankruptcy proceeding , some of the HML guy can perform the job by chasing all entity involved, while some other fund just give up and write-off the loan, so it's more complicated.For each fund, best thing is to consult previous LP investor that has already invested in the fund, and they expert enough to understand the situation and the actual capability of the HML guy.lot of HML aso these days , got trouble due to mass redemption from investor.
