Based on the amount he owes and the fact as William states, that he will be concerned about his record, this guy is a perfect candidate to take to small claims.

I will pick more books and read them. 

Just some food for thought.Typically from my experience, a lender that is willing to do a "blanket" style loan, lends from their own portfolio.

If you use property management software like TenantCloud, you can enter your listing once and it will push it out to many websites simultaneously.

If you bought something today with 5% down, you will be way ahead of the game two years from now and that PMI cost won't matter.

@Matt Wignall I have offices in MN and can say the # of companies willing to insure older buildings has gone from 10 to 1-2 in 2024. 

Assuming you fail the first test, you will have to perform the remediation work and then call for a re-inspection.One you have a passing inspection you can apply to MDE for your Lead Cert (many lead inspection companies will handle this for you).Good luck!

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
