Your being too generous Carlos.

You'll meet very generous people and you'll get a chance to contribute your financing knowledge.You can PM if you want to meet for coffee! 

Thank you @Andrew Bosco for your generous, thoughtful, methodical, scientific, thorough presentation - case studies, analysis, resource lists .....

BE GENEROUS!

However, the pictures of the house must be good and the availability of showings generous.

I have been told that the banks that have a lot of defaulted mortgages such as CA and NV are becoming pretty generous with the discounts.

Thanks to @Jonathan Twombly's generous help, I'm meeting with his colleague (a former architect who branched out to advise on and facilitate a wide range of projects) on Thursday.

Hopefully i'll be able to return your kind gesture to yourself or someone else one day.

The great thing is that in Windsor there are lots of properties that cashflow generously without a large down payment.
