I consider this guy one of my mentors, and I happily pay him his rates because we both know the score.My electrician is one of the best men I've ever met, a product of this town that certain powers that be in this country decided long ago to throw under the bus.

And I think you're doing pretty good if you can find an 80%LTV product...My only other suggestion is to work a purchase money mortgage angle if possible...maybe even a lease with an option to buy...no need for conventional lending...but it depends on the circumstances of the property and the seller...

With some discomfort (lowering the retirement income deductions) I can pay off an ARM loan in 10 years, so I am not much concerned of ARM payment ballooning to 8.75% and me getting foreclosed :) I am currently preapproved for the loan products I mentioned above by a big national bank.Let me know if you need any other info.Cheers,John

My research leads me to believe that a specific mortar needs to be used, as the stone and antique brick are not as strong as modern day products/construction.
