I follow the letter of the law( no matter how much I may not like it) that's part of my risk management and my reputation.

Borrowing against securities is a high risk proposition.

Feel free to connect, and best of luck

Lenders often have strict policies when a property is in a FEMA-designated disaster area to protect their risk, even if the property isn’t directly impacted.

This is a significant risk to the other two parties that are bringing the deal and the money when they could just as easily hire a contractor and keep the equity for themselves. 

You can easily do this for free.

The Homeowners Insurance will include Builder's Risk.

This risk is amplified the less money you have attached to the deal.
