the date today is 2/28/20...... so apparently they are predicting the future "suspicious" activity on my ATM.....needless to say I didn't click the link in the email...I then logged directly on to my bank to double check and all was good....I bet i am one of the few Americans that has a checking account but does not have an ATM card.. never liked those things. 

Your best bet is to talk to a wide variety of lenders and give them your scenario. 

There's motivation but you can bet they have other options.

@Nicholas WecksteinConventional financing won't work on this property.  7 units.Commercial is your next bet, but you shouldn't need hard money, even with the deferred maintenance of the 7th unit. 

My bet is your rent will be ~$1800, maybe a touch higher.

I bet she did this with every prospective buyer.

A great agent in the area your interested in would probably be your best bet and could save you lots of money in the long run. 

But if it doesn't, your best bet is to cover it up, "encapsulate" it, as is the term in the asbestos removal industry.

We mostly want it to pay for itself and hopefully make a small profit until we can retire and use it as a summer retirement home.As far as income and vacancy projections, a quick internet search uncovered 2 other similar cottages nearby with availability calendars and price rates for the next year.

Assuming we have the entire story here, your best bet is reporting to the contractors board, BBB, and if you choose, filing a law suit.
