Bad snow (no snow or less snow than normal) = less bookings and lower rates due to decreased ski demand. 

Build out time is normal six months to a year.

Normally these homes start out as large single family or maybe even duplex.  

First off, being nervous in this situation is normal, but I have found that the more direct and transparent you can be, the easier the situation gets.

there are 3 or 4 companies that sell how to programs normally about 2k to 3k.. this will give you the basics.. or you can try to find a used set of books tapes on E bay for 50 bucks or so.

I did attempt very hard to work with normal lenders.
