So if you want the hustle and bustle of a boardwalk or dozens of restaurants and shops to go to, it’s not the place for you.

I'm still confused as to how I know which properties will require that extra assessment money when you're buying from the lands available list.

I decided this year I did not want to mess with it as I had already gotten assessed values down as far as I realistically could.I agree with @Andy Webb that the best thing to do is try to get the condition of the house downgraded by documenting work needed.

. $2.2M 3/2 SF homes that were 650K a few years ago with two dozen offers...

We are still in early assessment and havent really compared places to places.. not quite sure whether cities like Lowell will be a gamble over some saturated markets like Medford / Somerville.... 

Both parties are in a similar situation as the result of the death of a tenant.I have had a dozen tenants die over the years and in every case any transition involved both parties working together to achieve a smooth transition with a common financial goal.

Yes, a commercial mortgage broker would be able at assess if you can get a agency lender to offer a bridge to perm and open that door.

I think Century Bank would also do one with 75% LTV and a lower interest rate, but they go off assessed value instead of an appraised value.  

As I interpret the code, even if I own a dozen residential properties, as long as the subject property is my primary residence, I may submit a claim against the home builder guaranty fund for defects that have not been corrected by the home builder, or covered by a new home warranty policy.  

I agree, our initial assessment   Is encouraging as there is so much potential around Eglin AFB.
