I don't think it is fair !!!

I will add the fact that there are things you need to keep in mind when it comes to the HOA fees, Never go with high-rise buildings because those common area fees paid by the HOA will kill you, I typically look at Garden-Style or 4 stories and below, I do have one property that's in a 7 story building but the fees were still fairly low. 

A hard money lender would likely charge 8-12% interest.A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is running around 5 - 6%.If he invested his money with someone else, he would expect a fair market return on that investment.

I’m looking to buy a 2 family in Schenectady NY that is in fair condition, 203k it to good condition, and owner occupy it while renting the bottom floor for a year or two then hold onto it and rent both units.

Hello all and thank you so much for maintaining such informative site.

I cannot finance a project like this by myself but am curious if anyone could lend a hand with connections or insight on what would be fair terms.I owe $350k on my home and am in the process of applying for my HELOC that I am thinking I can get about $200k out (if it is needed).

They are managed a bit differently as a result.Small multi-family and single family are fairly similar in how they are managed.  

I have a security deposit to cover this but wanted to check to see if anyone knows an efficient and fair contractor to hire for a crank window repair services.

One big question: are there plenty of buyers that would purchase a condo if it had over an acre of land to maintain?
