They send the first two notices and then I send the 3rd.

The bank is local who I have worked with in the past and will be posting their notice in the paper in March and won't be able to entertain my offers until April 1st (this is all info from the agent).     

I noticed you are from O'Fallon. 

I can do 95% Condo loans on non-fannie mae approved buildings

I know that no matter what our first deal looks like, there will be some kind of rehab involved and I want to learn-by-doing as much as I can.I don't have an abundance of time, as I work full-time as a Product Manager in Technology for Disney...but I have some evenings to spare and most weekends with enough notice.

If financing personally you might qualify for Fannie/Freddie debt which is the cheapest2.

We voted down a special assessment of $2,500 for painting back in October and a $100 increase in dues for painting in December, but the board has just sent notice of another meeting to be held in March for a vote of a $2,350 special assessment. 

Here we have to give a 10 days notice to pay unless its written in the lease otherwise.

Repairs are 36k or likely 45k if I have to convert from well water to county water (I'm noticing that the well is on the edge of the rear boundary, which could be a problem in future).

We'll have to pull another one together, with plenty of notice.
