I say sturdiest just because we do have functional obsolescence  that needs to be taken into consideration if your  going to  hold the asset long termI harken back to my earlier years 1984...

Otherwise it functions as a fair standard loan.  

I understand only so much can be taught through visually learning rather than hands on, but that's the point of the post, for people to explain how to physically start. 

At the end of the day we have to make it function like a business, keep the tenants happy and keep the owners from getting sued.It's a relationship business not an object business.

While it only has 1000sf, it also has two functional lofted areas and a basement (3brs are qualifying but very small).

Utilize the search function and above all else, don't be afraid to ask questions you can't find the answer to or just simply engage in a conversation.

Additionally, if there is or is to be a pound, it could well be a restricted area by ordinances due to the preceived dangers of water retention areas and if so there will not be access granted.A pound could also be nothing more than a visual amenity to the subdivision to be enjoyed from afar.

Eric, sorry I don't have any stories of getting ripped off as a lender.....none....notta, not that some didn't try.Any time someone came in (mostly commercial deals) as if they had just found the best thing since sliced bread and were overly ecited, I get leary quickly, over-selling a deal is just a tip off that I'm not getting the true picture.The concept of dual control of adminstrative functions is a good way to limit issues.

It is more of a function of priced too high as opposed to market exposure.
