So contact a San Diego equivalent association to get their list. 

I would check the contractor's credentials (hopefully they are licensed, bonded, and insured) and report problem to the contractor's board, labor & industry, or the equivalent in your area, for guidance.

But I want a full month's rent (NOT PRORATED) plus the FULL security deposit in cash or equivalent to move in.  

You can likely get the loan from a private investor by giving them a share of the profits, but your HML may have verbiage in their deed of trust (or equivalent) that states you can not secure any more loans against the property.

But, she doesn't want to tell you that.Either way, it's absolutely within your right not to pay it, though if it was disclosed in the listing (or at the time you first submitted the contract), you should have been prepared for it.If it wasn't in the listing or mentioned when you submitted the contract (before it was signed by both parties), then I would recommend telling the agent that if it's required that you pay it, you'll need to lower your offer price by an equivalent amount.Or, if you really want the property, just eat the cost.

Any smallerunits just make them equivalents of a 10 x15. 3 5 x 10's= 1unitAlthoughI am counting them all as the same, the reason, I say count by sizeis for when you build.Nowlets calculate "Demand":Numberof units needed (Step 1) minus Number of units existing (Step 2) =Quantity to build.Town1:500- 400 = 100Town2:300- 100 = 200Town3:andso on.Thiswill help you pick which town you have the greatest potential forsuccess.

Example: I'd love to use annual cashflow or EBIDTA equivalent and a multiplier on that to increase the portfolio value above residential market value.

The description on the auction site say: "Buyer will receive a Special Warranty Deed or equivalent".

I am Part Time for now as well, and my broker still provides the equivalent as he would if I was his best broker on the job.

The thought of having to cut a check in months when they don't even live at a property outweighs having to potentially pay a higher rate in months that they do (even though it's equivalent).
