You can tell a lot about a person by how they present themselves  Great info, thank you.And I agree, one should value a contractor like any other critical relationship.

Your real estate lawyer is your best source of advice about this.

There are also of course the traditional "fleshworld" sources of finding competent lenders:* Friend/family referrals that closed with a particular lender, esp those friends and family that we think have difficult or imperfect credit/income/asset situations. * Realtor referrals.

Lastly seal the 2x4's with Kilz or equivalent.If you truly eliminate any moisture sources you should be ok.  

They don't look at tax returns or debt to income ratio to qualify -- basically, good credit and whether the property is rentable/numbers make sense.Any thoughts, suggestions, criticisms would be greatly appreciated.TIA,Manuel
