Does anyone have a good reference for lenders that would potentially take on this deal?  

What resources can I use to solicit and check references for home inspectors?

(Click on image to see a bigger view)I will be posting similar stats for Coconino county soon.

I talked to some references from one company so you may want to do that as well as talk to a number of other PMs in your area.

@Sib BahjatI would be inclined to ask your CPA, what tax advantage he is referring to. 

You will not get the 250K/500K exemption that @Upen Patelis referring to because you would have to live in it for two out of the previous 5 year period.2.

It is best to refer to the title company/ attorney/ settlement agent involved in your transaction and your loan officer at the bank/ lender, but in most cases you would simply wire the funds required to close 1-2 days prior to your target closing date taking into consideration wire cutoff times and any processing time your bank requires.

I have heard them referred to as "condo-tels".  

Attempting To bump this up the post list to see if anyone has updated references.

There may be a major issue with the house that you can't see from the outside or in any of the images posted in the listing.
