What value are you bringing if you are just marking up a listed property? 

It could work as there a number of associations that publish current bench mark costs available via the web.

They only know their checkboxes that have to be matched to give you a loan, and to tell you what they need to mark those checkboxes.    

To your point, it will be difficult for you to get conventional financing at this time, but once you hit the 2 year employment mark then you can circle back on that and perhaps payoff the private loan with a conventional mortgage. 

You are right that, by the 12 month mark, the forced appreciation of $20k and measly scheduled principal payment of ~$2k would get me to only ~86% LTV.

How ever, any changes that require city approval... good luck with your 30 day mark.
