I’ve noticed that there’s been a trend in recent years with respect to rehabbed shipping containers.

The only ways to do it quickly involve skill and effort, such as finding a good investment property you can wholesale to someone else.Your situation may seem uncomfortable but unless you solve your cash situation, jumping ship to a SF fixer-upper is just going to make your situation worse. 

Although I'd have liked to invest in Austin proper, that ship seems to have sailed since there is no way for the math to work with current interest rates.

Hoping the work force stays strong until tourists and ships come back strong.

Also, I do "soften" the news with a businesslike cover letter reminding them of increased costs we are facing...insurance, material and shipping costs, labor costs, yada yada..."

I have found, though, that a cheaper price online, plus shipping, often works out to be more expensive overall than the price at the local parts store plus tax - and that's just getting retail pricing at the local store. 

Usually next of kin(ship) or blood relative.So, I would be dealing with the Personal Representative (executor and/or administrator).Think of probate as the person that has not done proper estate planning. 

For your point on construction loans do not consider second positions, since the lot has a house and a dock (with 700-800k in value and are permitted), would construction loans refinanced these existing structures too in addition to the construction cost? 

As close as it gets to visiting a different US state without actually being a state: no passport required, US dollar is local currency, familiar restaurants and big-name stores, you can order stuff from Amazon and have it shipped via USPS, cell phone plans work like they do at home, etc. 11.

Are they taking a long shot, or would you be taking a long shot.I wonder if they have done this with others recently, who folded, but with push back, they would have modified their stance (internal documentation your lawyer might be able to get).Or is their strategy to fight fire with fire and burn the ship to the ground financially...on a 12 unit loan--that's kind of peanuts, are they doing this with larger loans too, or just trying to clear the deck of small players?
