Rentometer thinks I’m low and estimates over $1,100 for two bedroom units around that zip code.

Lesson Learned: The city's Building & Code Department can be an ally and an assetChallenges: Showing the very talented members of my team how technology can be leveraged to improve and enhance efficiency Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

For starters, where is your property physically located (city and zip code)?

I dug a little deeper in to the city code and it looks like there's a 100% density bonus for 'micro-units' that average a total of 600sqft.

I have contact information for the builder of the prior home and a relationship with the Director of code and enforcement of the county.

Town code enforcement should care if the facade is a hazard. 

Can you give me some zip codes?

Even if I plug in a Montana zip code to get the flyover country interest rate pricing, the HIGHEST priced lender I typically work with (for really difficult scenarios) is at 0.78 points for the exact same scenario in the small print here where they are advertising it at 2 points (scroll down past the trophies to see the advertisement "assumptions") for the exact same scenario.

IF there is a reason that you want to stick with this loan officer, you could *try* the approach I used to take with our local building inspector who thought *his* opinion mattered more than what the "rules" said on our construction project we do.He would tell my customers that "you need to do it 'this' way or 'that' way" which often was not accurate to what the code says (being a licensed contractor I know the code pretty well).I told my customers to ask him "can you show me in writing what covers this issue so I can better understand it".
