Even on liquid investment like stocks, some savers have Apple stocks received 30 some years ago that they paid $1 a par.

E.g. 3 years of IO on a 10 year loan or 5 years of IO on a 10 year loan? 

Seattle is notoriously hard on owners/hosts, and the last thing you want is a potential bad apple playing the "eviction game" with you, tying up your property for an extended amount of time thout cash flow.

I found a list of basic questions and added on some here and there so I can compare apples to apples for the banks. 

Easy to work with, lend everywhere, responsive and in some cases a desktop appraisal.What kind of rates did you get with them , IO?

I prefer leasing, as it costs about 2/3 of the payment of purchasing the same car (always get monthly numbers based on ZERO down so you're comparing apples to apples), most people don't keep a car longer than 6 years (I know I don't, and you break even/come out ahead of leasing at about the 8 year mark if you purchase), and I love the fact that you never pay repair costs or have reliability concerns.

Your best bet is to get a full scope of work from a pro and then have several contractors bid off of that scope so you get an apples to apples bid.Inspector, pro bidder, consultant, project manager, etc.

@Alan Crookham you may need to expand your search of comparable sales and make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

I will walk and miss a deal rather than grab that tempting apple.
