Adding an led light strip all around in the upper edge of that tray ceiling can give a different vide in your movie room.

@Pat Lulewicz I'll go a limb and say finding/converting a property to a duplex in this market is nearly impossible and probably a waste of time given the his experience level.

Primarily when downsizing they question your occupancy intent (Claiming primary residence on a fixer upper for favorable LTV terms, with intent to convert to an investment in the short term) but everything can be worked out with proper documentation.

Property 3: Primary Fixer upper / home. 

I am planning on buying a primary residence that I can get as a decent fixer-upper.

The unit was completely dirty, damaged and looked like a fixer upper.

If you get a copy of the seller's deed from the public records and it was prepared and recorded by a title company, their file number is probably on it, most likely in the upper left-hand corner. 

Its defiantly a good idea to do as much due diligence as you can on the seller if you are looking at doing a partial or a note fund.If it goes non-performing you need to make sure you can trust the person who will be responsible for getting the note re-performing and you need to understand the contract so you understand how the event of a non-performer should play out.I would definitely put Chris in the upper echelon of note investors based on my research and experience. 

ADR and RevPAR are expected to grow steadily, with upper-tier properties seeing slightly higher growth rates.3.
