I am stuck on the ARM (2.78 %) but I am terrified to Refi for fear that my mortgage will go up.

If he had explained to me that he did not need to be there (I explicitly asked him he was going to be there) or that it was not possible to get the utilities turned on or that he could not make the appointment, it might have helped a little.

You may be able to get a longer amortization period, but will have either ARMs or a balloon. 

At the same time "Community" groups are up in arms about new condo developments in the Mission.

So I'll have to borrow the wife's car (hatchback) and hope the arms fold down so that I can get the mower over to the house tomorrow.Additionally, our stairs arrived.

If you do a balloon or ARM you can lower your interest rate - but I would base it on some available product.The cash(or bank financed) alternative is important because it gives them that option if they want it and it keeps either side from agreeing to a bad price.How long has the property been on the market?

@Sam Dal- Unless the contract explicitly makes mediation / arbitration a right, there is no way to force it within the contract.

Hi Colin,What you are looking for sounds like a BUSINESS BROKER which is different than a commercial broker.You might want to start by going to www.bizbuysell.com which is the business brokerage arm of LoopNet.There you can put in Boston and see business listings and brokers for your area.

It's a 10/1 Arm.

Scenario:Income property purchased in early 2015 using a 5/30 ARM with about a 4.25% interest rate.
