I under cut market prices and give people more than they expect.

I usually get 14 so my private lender has enough time to get the time and sit down with me so we can talk, and cut me a check. 

Now how that all actually plays out with insurance, attorneys and courts in individual cases, and at what costs in money and time, that's the rub.There is usually an insurance policy on the tank, to cover leaks, as part of the price of the fuel, so check with the seller on that.I would certainly recommend making your deal contingent on a clean leak test (and decommissioning if that's what you choose) and have your deal effectively read such that if the test comes back with water in the tank, ie the tank has leaked, then you can walk from the deal and get your EM back.The existence of a UST, especially if in use and not leaking, in no way needs to be a required deal killer though. 

No income for 2016 tax year, loss calculated.If I don't get tax filed by cut off date, would Uncle Sam be penalising me for that?

I understand that financing the entire deal cuts into my cashflow with a higher mortgage.

Don't recommend to cut people off though ;)

Usually these items are negotiated in the purchase agreement, but the Murphy bed situation isn't so cut and dry.

Especially if you can't depend on using the 2000's "greater fool" theory.Don't forget about shared driveways.  .......another page on that .....Lastly, even if it 100% your property, Nashua does not take kindly to inventing new "curb cuts" or driveway or blocking the sidewalk or the City's / public works / utilities easement on to your property,  This applies  whether you live on a $700k Tanglewood Tree street or $150k Morgan street.  

If the property is owned less than 12 monthsWill lend up to 80% of the original purchase price and rehab amount if material improvements to the property have been made.Will lend on the original purchase price if the property has not been materially improved"I think you're right though, they may cut the ltv to 70 and not care too much.There are other lenders that have long term financing without seasoning, is generally easy to qualify (many don't have any income requirements) and have reasonable ltv's, but they are not cheap in rate or points@Andrew Hunt PM me and I'll point you in the right direction given your circumstances.Stephanie

I am going to be applying for a home equity loan but my debt to income ratio is cutting it pretty close....
