We've never had any issues whenever we submitted a claim, and they would take care of the type of situation you're dealing with.  

Our primary issue on both previous CPAs was lack of engagement/enthusiasm in their work.  

Our rep at Lendbase never called to apologize or ask if a prepayment penalty was an issue for us.

I’m sure others here are also running into this issue, so any recommendations and referrals would be greatly appreciated!

No issues as of yet and the property management company has been great so far.

Then interview them.Now, let's look at your issues:1) How did replacing a toilet result in a burst pipe and flood?

“The merits panel now has the appeal, which remains expedited, and a briefing schedule will issue forthwith.

Here is some key information:Property recently hit the market and has 2 cash offers alreadyThe seller provided a pre-inspection report, which I shared with 2 different lenders, both think it may fail conventional financing due to potential structural and electrical issues (realtor thinks it could pass conventional)Seller has 100% equity but is behind on other payments (not sure of the urgency money is needed)This is my first attempt at an “investment” property so I’m new to thisI see 3 optionsMove forward with an offer using conventional loan pre-qualification-Not as attractive of an offer to the seller-Possibility that appraiser calls out structural/electrical issues that need to be fixed before closing, effectively causing financing to fail- Best terms and fewest loan fees for meUse a rehab style loan such as ChoiceRenovation-Even less attractive than a conventional offer to seller, but less risk of failed financing if appraiser calls out issues-Slightly worse fees and interest rates compared to conventional-Lenders tell me possibly up to 60-90 days closing in some cases, with red-tape for contractor requirements and draw schedules (sounds like the most hoops to jump through during rehab)Use a hard money lender-Most attractive loan option I can give to seller so I can compete-Much higher fees and interest rate for me-need to refinance into a conventional at the end of rehab (not familiar with seasoning periods but I think this is a factor as well)Which option would you do?
