- Speak with the seller.

Something I speak about on BP that I'm an expert on!

It seems that every agent I speak to wants to continue quoting individual policies for our houses.

Wasn't me 9 months ago, I haven't yet done much speaking out of our coverage area.The tools mentioned in the posts above are probably your best choice nationally.

Generally speaking, an SF-3 lot with more than 50' of frontage and that is over 7000 square feet can have a duplex.

I would highly advise speaking with an attorney prior to filing for an LLC.

@Ben Rice I would also add that speaking your landlord's language wouldn't hurt.

After speaking with the mitigation manager at the remediation company as well as our county's Department of Public Health - Environmental Services department it has been determined that the property is not uninhabitable.  

But to me, they are better than a traditional loan because with a loan, you get the money, then pay it back... and then it is done and you have to repeat it all over again.With an equity line, it is like a credit card so to speak.

Different animal, no an earnest money deposit isn't required the promise may well do it, I'm speaking of an equitable interest being established and the degree of that interest.
