Hello Bigger Pockets Real Estate I need advice how to discharge property from (AEP)And if the price of charge from HPD is very high can I somehow reduce her?

The alternative is they pay rent as agreed and you capitalize the repairs with your rental payments (or an aggregate of the same).  

Depending on what that real threshold is, there may be alternatives with a first lien that might be more 'comfortable'.  

The adjacent lot is not an alternative, unless you buy it. 

Personally, I don't think there is much merit in trying to say I planned for any different outcome, even though I am open to any alternate outcome.

Would this be a good alternative to our first plan?

I have the means to finance it myself, so maybe I will get a pre approval to get it under contract and look for the alternative financing once it is secure.

I'm make call everyone today and do at least an hour of calling a day until its second nature.  

It doesn't seem that many people would accept such a small deposit, would the alternative be that I take out a line of credit for these deposits so I don't have working capital tied up for periods of 30 - 45 days?

I think you should ask your bank if it's an absolute that the interest rate will change (go up) after 5 years or if it's open to discussion...kinda like I mentioned for my bank.I could be wrong, but when it's all in a business, can't you write off more things such as "business meals" and things of that nature?
