This is an unusual scenario, however.

If the bathroom being in a basement is unusual for this neighborhood, then the rehab costs will likely go up in order to finish the basement.

You don't occupy the property so the DF Act appears to apply to your deal.Sub-2 is your arrangement to utilize now. 30% down is unusual in SF deals overall, 20% is usually the goal, many are down at 10%. :)

. :-)The situation is a bit unusual, perhaps the devil is in the details : The original owners who signed the contract owned 2 buildings on 2 adjacent lots.

Im looking at a house that has an unusual shape.

The houses in this neighborhood originally had the w/d in the kitchen, so it's not all that unusual of a set up. 

@Juan Mendoza Our story is unusual, I think. 

Here is an unusual way to find contractors........Go to Home Depot or Lowes about 6 am, you will find lots of contractors there buying supplies for their jobs, ask for their business card or get their telephone number off their trucks.Tell them what you want, ask them to meet you to give you an estimate. 

More of a hotel room..2x-3x unfurnished long-term gross rents aren't unusual for well-managed places in good areas.

Very unusual, most lenders will have the documents drafted and send to you
