Hi,I have a building which has a finished attic space on the "3rd" floor.

Each unit comes equipped with 3 bed, 2 bath, attached 2 car garage, quartz countertops, advanced soundproofing, 2x6 exterior construction, premium vinyl siding / Provia stone masonry, 5/8" drywall, separate concrete driveways, LVP Durato flooring, and a fenced-in backyard for pets / family.

Could we plan for around 6:30 on Friday the 12th??

And this is on top of the Government’s announced plans earlier this year to boost spending and demand for homes.

I planned to develop another home in the back half but a contractor inquired about renting the lot for their construction trailer so I’m pausing my development. 

Here are the details:Assumable loan balance: $750k at 2.75%List price: $950kDownpayment needed: $200k to cover the differenceMy initial plan to make this deal work included a few options:Getting a loan for the $200k difference.Bringing in a partner.Asking for seller financing.However, when I discussed these options with my agent, I hit a few roadblocks:Second Mortgage: My agent said no bank would provide a second position loan for the $200k.Seller Financing: He mentioned that 99% of sellers would reject this, though we're asking anyway.Agent's Advice: He suggested I just get a conventional loan and put 5% down for the full $950k, but I feel this defeats the purpose of leveraging the assumable loan.Given these challenges, I’m trying to figure out the best way to raise the $200k.

We feel very confident in our underwriting, but given the jump that we made from SFH to an apartment building, we want to ensure we're not missing steps in our DD/inspection plan.Here's our current plan:1) Have a general inspector complete a Property Condition Assessment.2) Have specialists complete an evaluation of the roof, electrical, foundation, and heat source (2 steam boilers).3) Review financials, all leases, existing service contracts, rent roll, tax assessment, rental certificate, and 12 months of work orders.Here's what I'm not sure about:1) Are there DD items (specifically those that we would request from the seller) that are not captured within #3 above that we should be requesting?

I do land use planning in SoCal but not SB specifically.

We secured a comprehensive plan for renovations, including a quote for necessary foundation repairs.

Hi Sonia,Where in the states do you plan on buying?
