I was there personally and slept on the steering wheel of my truck 20 minutes here and 30 minutes there for the entire weekend.

I've been contemplating using HML to buy my 2nd property. My understanding is that HML will lend you money for about 6 months allowing you to sell the property or refi to a standard long term mortgage. Problem is...

Alternatively, fine sawdust works almost as well.Once you've done as he suggests, I'd mix Dawn with very hot water and scrub out the remaining stain that's absorbed into the concrete.

I checked with the mortgage broker again and I was informed that I am needed to have 6 months of reserve monthly payment for the new property and also for my current home (with a conventional loan and greater than 5%), kindly let me know if this is a common requirement or if there is an alternative option available.

Unfortunately, the path of least resistance is trash (which can also fill your dumpster for the week upsetting other tenants) so you want to discourage that path and provide alternatives...Also, I require the unit be empty and clean, with one exception, and that is cleaning products which can be left in cabinets under the sinks..

Just because someone has money makes them a good lender just like someone who owns a truck makes them a Dakar Rally winner. :)

We were considering a food truck and even had friends willingly offer investment money, but the thought of sitting in that truck all day killed the deal for me.If we go for the rink, my spouse will be running it :) We have the opposite of your hot summers here, looooong white and cold winters, with not much to do for those that don't ski or hunt.

Guess I could put my kayak in the back of the truck, LOL.

Alternatively, are there any who would disagree based on your on-the-ground experience( @Mark Ainley , @Brianna S.

So effectively, the lender(s) will be secured twice, once by the property and then by your alternate security plus huge fees and interest rates.Either way, if you're going to do your deals this way you're just asking for trouble, IMO.
