Where I am, getting up zoning approval from 4 to 5 not easy, and requires a public hearing.The other problem is financing.

I'm not one to give up and will keep at cracking the lending code to get an approval.

In my offers, if the property is rented, I require Addendum R to be completed and write in contingent upon tenant/landlord completing and buyer approving Estoppel as well as in some cases, providing previous year's tax returns and proof of payment for last 3-6 months for review/approval. 

I'm looking at long term financing as I think I will get the best rates/approval chances and exits after about 7 years.

We're kind of friends, he's trying to help a local guy, and I want to avoid presenting him with a s***show he can't approve and not charge me for the hourlong trip to get here. 

The property is already a successful Airbnb, and I plan on continuing it.It’s a fully furnished tiny house in a community outside Asheville for $125k.Since it’s technically a manufactured home, however, I’m having trouble getting financing and making the numbers work.I was approved for a 10 year loan with 20%down, but it’s almost $1500 a month.

Ask them what you'd be approved for by yourself, or if you got a partner (assuming parent), how much could you be approved for?   

I've been pre-approved for a property up to $200k.

Did just that and got the approval from the electric company.

Due to my cheap assery, preferably like to keep our mortgage within 1/6th to 1/8th of take home pay, and set our pre-approval for about $50k less than the listed price (house flipping intentions).
