I explained the way the title was held and was assured that would not be an issue only to have your company take $950 from me, string me along for over 7 weeks and deny the loan for the same title scenario that I explained in the beginning, which was not a problem when I did my blanket loan with B2R, nor is it an issue for Stronghill Capital, with whom I am now working on this refinance.In addition, I have never experienced such poor responsiveness and communication during any loan process I've been a part of.

But, I assure you, once you find a great agent, you'll never even think about going it alone again...there's just no reason to. 

I recommend you speak to Kent, Chad or Richard Kirchen at the Assurance Risk Managers (Family business).

Post it on the front door, and take photos of the posted notice with date/time stamp so that you can prove your compliance with local laws for access.    

I likely would not hesitate to invest alongside him in the future (don't tell him I said that).I've never met or heard from @Jody Schnurrenberger prior to reading through this post but you can be assured I intend on sending her a colleague request.

@Laura JohnsonAround here, many folks use resilient channel and safe-n-sound primarily for fire code compliance and consider the sound deadening to be an added plus.  

Easiest & less costly, sure, but offering no protection or assurance for the buyer.

Rest assured that we have been notified of this issue and will fix it as quickly as we can.

The permit states it is a 3-family home but subject to: 1) The town building department having the right to enter the premise with 24 hours notice 1x a year to ensure the home is in compliance with the town's codes2) The special permit will expire after 7 years and a new permit has to obtained 3) The special permit may be revoked if the owner violates any of the town's codes Is this "Special Permit" worth the additional headaches of the yearly inspections and 7 year renewals? 

Each and every comment here has really made me happy and given me assurance that it takes just more than real estate investment to be successful in real estate. lol!
