@James Wise I had to replace carpet in an infested house with laminate thinking that would fix it but no.Spent a lot on various fumigation without desired results.However, I read about rubbing alcohol+ mint oil mixture...works like a charm.Make sure you find their 'nest' and apply it there.Just go crazy with it and apply it everywhere.They will die on contact.You may need to get rid of furniture that may serve as hideout for them.Springbox is notorious for this.Goodluck.!

Loan terms from commercial sources vary depending on the source and I have read in the forums that most are looking for a fixed commercial 30 yr loan but cannot find it at commercial banks or portfolio banks and I must tell ya that it is available but you will not find it through traditional sources: Here is why: Banks are highly regulated by your Uncle Sam and internal regulators, even if they are a commercial or portfolio lender.Commercial loans are notoriously known for balloon mortgages or Adjustable Rate MortgagesThe simple reason for this is because depending on the commercial operator and property type these loans are not classified the same as residential loans which are backed by the government.You see on the commercial side that money is the bank's money to fund whether they sell the note or not so most banks that offer these loans offer them at these terms because the commercial balance sheet is totally different than the residential balance sheet.
