I'm looking for quick advice here before I go pay an attorney an arm and a leg for 5 minutes of chit chat.

Do you know where she is going, that can be an indication of how to structur a deal if she really needs cash.She may not have much of a tax issue but her funds would be invested at a higher rate than she would likely get on something else, so play on the safety of her money and high return with an income. :)

The I believe the group that does CPM and ARM accreditation sells a cost of doing business book that breaks down typical expenses for apartment buildings in different area of the country.

There are other issues that can be unique to any property but being armed with these initial concerns at your first meeting will let you put a better first foot forward with P&Z.

You'll have to call around and develop a relationship with these lenders.The porfolio programs I'm seeing are 5/1 ARM's Amortized over 30 years with varying LTV %'s based on seasoning etc.

If it were me, and I was sure there was no irregularity, I'd be tempted to strong arm the trustee to make them pay me to go away.

Jon, that portfolio lender in Denver will also do 5/30 and 7/30 arms if we are thinking of the same one.

A detached gagrage will have same basic requirements as the house, as for health and safety-no trip/fall hazards, safe electrical, etc.

We welcome you and your tourist dollars with open arms:)

Is it an ARM?
