Another way would be for someone to outright give you the money, let it season in your accounts, then purchase the property (I'm not sure who would do this without a note being attached to that... maybe a relative?). 

Appraised at Purchase Price Scenario:Purchase Price: $94,950Loan Amount (80% of $94,950) = $75,960Original Down Payment (20% of $94,950) = $18,990Monthly Rent: $895Anticipated Cash Flow: $168.05 (after all expenses)Revised Scenario based on Appraisal:Purchase Price: $94,950Revised Loan Amount (80% of Appraised Amount $85,000) = $68,000Revised Down Payment (20% of $85,000) = $17,000 + $7960 (Additional Cash Req.)Anticipated Cash Flow: $210.78 (after all expenses - see attached)**As you can see, there is an increase of cash flow of $42.73 per month.The additional cash needed to bring to the table from what you had originally thought had the property appraised appropriately is laid out here below;Purchase Price - Revised Loan Amount = Cash Required - Original Amount of Cash Req. = Additional Cash Now RequiredEquation: $94,950 - $68,000 = $26,950 - $18,990 = $7,960

Try a plumber first, unless the tank is not attached to anything. 

If the purpose of the loan was to purchase additional real estate and it's a LOC or a loan with some controlled disbursement account attached to it, then yes that makes sense to me. 

Same goes for the panhandle towns but I’m not as familiar with that area.

The median sales price in the Philadelphia Metro Area gained for the nineteenth straight month, with attached home pricing (up by an average of +7.2%) outpacing detached homes (up +5.3%) over that time.Philadelphia County celebrated its 51st consecutive month of year-over-year median close price gains, dating back to December 2015.The number of closings in the Philadelphia Metro (4,445) hit a new February high.Activity in the Philadelphia Metro continues to flourish, as new pending home sales saw a best ever for the month of February.

Attached to it is the Colorado K-1 equivalent (Form 106) showing the corporation paid the taxes for me on my income in the state (I am a non-resident). 

@Scott Savard Thanks Scott, the house is not attached it is a few feet away from the neighboring house.

I can only assume that the article is referring to a European or Asian company then.Most stocks are moving independent of underlying fundamentals at this point in time, so I wouldn't get too attached to anything with a high-yield, real estate, utilities, etc. that become potential short-term safe havens, only for funds to later churn out of them as the dust settles.If your belief remains that people will continue to downsize and/or be unwilling to part with belongings, then self-storage would certainly support that belief. 

In my area thats a one page form you attach to your taxes...or so i was told.
