They should provide enough detail (fields in their submitted forms) to lenders so that the lender can assess the opportunities in a uniform way.

(He didnt) Among other things, she now says that I must comply with ADA rules and (at my expense) install motion sensors in the open carport and install a ramp.She is somewhat disabled, but when I see her she moves just fine and is not in a wheelchair but using a cane occasionally.

I'm also lucky that I am prior military so I can tell from his uniform and command pics/medals on social media that he is a squared away guy.

Go through the motions- (may take longer than a month) This practice will help you "get it" and put you in a position to make offers effectively...

I found the appreciation was pretty uniform among all the properties.

Replace all floors(living,dining,hallway,2bedrooms)with 1 uniform tile.

So to that effect...Fix the guttersPaint the front make it one uniform colorPaint the railings and posts white Paint the cement blocks; put a simple white trellis in front of the blocks; add some shrubbery & plants in front of it.Remove about 1 to 2 feet of grass on both sides of the front walk way leading to the stairsFlank the walkway with plants and solar lights maybe even box it in with red bricksPut some outdoor seating on the porch and some potted plantsPut in a nice decorative mailbox at the bottom of the stairsAdd a nice decorative house numbers on the door or next to itAdd some nice lighting by the front doorAdd some hanging plants by the corner postsThese should greatly improve the look of your house.

Once a lender, always a lender.There are two legal theories at play, one is title theory the other is laws of equity.State laws vary, but the Uniform Commercial Code addresses collateral matters with installment sales.Cash funded loans are secured to indemnify the lender or note buyer up to the financial interest acquired under the security agreement, the lender holds an equitable financial interest they do not acquire title in ownership.After foreclosure title may be obtained however laws of equity still apply and apply in all states.

Also using motion detectors is another good idea.
