Have you shopped hard money lenders?  

Put all of the information on a nice clean spreadsheet then shop the deal.  

Had a company that AHS sent over last year that replaced a heater, no issues.Different tech this year, same subdivision, different property, same setup (no pressure reducing valves and no pressure tank), and tech claims it needs "Sediment trap, expansion tank, T&P modifications, and permit", essentially more than what AHS says the new tank itself is worth.Figured I'd ask here if anybody knows the exact regulations, because the tech seems not to want to explain anything other than "We can't tell you by law, only American Homeshield can, we've told them what it needs".

@David McCracken what other markets do you shop in, just Macomb and Oakland?

It’s a 10-minute walk to the subway and accessible to many restaurants, shops, bars, and I would call it a B+ neighborhood.As an aside, it's nearly impossible to get a small multi here.

We would rent out the pricey condo in SF, and then either move into our rental property in TN, or possibly just rent an apt for ourselves while we shop for a home or condo or fixer project then (in case anyone has experience doing something like that and would like to share lessons learned!).

Hello everyone,I’m Valentina and I’m a double citizen (Swiss and Italian) married to an American.

If it helps -- note distance and direction to schools, shopping centers, etc.  

After a quick search I found "American Water & Energy Savers" website.

Local banks and credit unions are the exact place those folks with lower loan amounts should shop.
