XYZ Bank might not, but that's on them and saying it "can't" be done is a bit misleading.Our underwriters are out in Concord and know the Bay Area and we try to keep Bay Area underwriters underwriting Bay Area loans so that they already know all the Bay Area quirks. 

As someone who doesn't (yet) live in Durham, I wanted to share my thoughts on the different neighborhoods and let people:a) tear apart my thoughts if they are incorrect andb) share their own thoughts on Durham neighborhoods!

I'm sorry to hear you are having issues, hopefully you can fight it, but in my experience on the lending and investing side, the appraiser won't budge unless they made a trivial mistake (forgot to take into consideration major highway dividing lines, incorrect square footage on records, fat fingering an address, etc.)

I read that incorrectly, I thought you were looking for multiple FHA loans.I would not be concerned about obtaining an FHA loan with the intention of it being your primary residence, getting relocated for work and renting out the property.

If theres anything you think I wrote that is unfair, construed, incorrect, or exaggerated feel free to call me out.

Or is my understanding of ICC totally incorrect?

@Debra N.If you aren't finding buyers, your deal probably isn't good enough for the market that you're in or your comps/repair estimates are incorrect.

I was just making a preliminary call, and incorrectly estimated about  3000-4000  in taxes.

As always, the advice here is really to consult your cpa because the rules are always tricky.However, I believe very strongly that you are incorrect.

Boston is a large city, you may find a CPA who specializes in real estate.You mentioned doing your taxes incorrectly.
