I know a lot of others that played the other side of the highway in garden oaks and did well.

I probably would not have as I earlier mentioned but I did hear that Home Depot had a free installation special a month or so ago.

Either  1) you will get no loan whatsoever, or 2) It is some BS combination of "trade accounts" credit.....Office Depot, Home Depot, and other misc useless businesses......Not a cash line of credit.Once you qualify for any kind of business line of credit, there will be No upfront fee, and more importantly it will be because you have established an Actual ongoing business that shows a profit, and consistent revenues over a few years.Time to turn on your BS detector.

I just looked at Home Depot's site out of interest and they have a Whirlpool stainless steel gas stove at 34% off for $458!

I'd buy a new one from Lowes/Home Depot. 

Maybe you can check out Home Depot or Lowes

Usually, if a unit is going to have problems, it will start within the first year, and you'll want the installer to be the first guy to go to.Forget about Lowes/Home Depot,  a local guy with a good reputation has more on the line and more accessible, than a corporation.

I live 30 minutes by train from Madison Square Garden.  

Interested in townhouse style building but also not opposed to garden style.  

At home depot, if you buy enough of the insulation, they will LEND you the machine to blow it in yourself.
