After some bad experiences I have learnt not to rely on testimonials to make decisions. 

Impossible You do not state the source of funds but let’s go with probably the cheapest option of a cash out refi (note this relies on having equity to do so)

Our model also relied heavily on Ross Chapman’s work on pocket neighborhoods, Charles Durrett’s work on cohousing and Nancy’s work on building community in a senior living environment.

AS Much as anything most folks in RE in that area simply rely  totally on them ..

The information contained in this post is not to be relied upon.

Many lenders and vendors rely on D&B scores to evaluate creditworthiness.2.
