When you're looking to buy a place, agents typically won't show you homes without a lending pre-approval (or proof of cash funds).

You can work with the City to get approval for a non-conforming use without going through the re-zone or variance processes, but there is no guarantee they'll approve it. 

Just something to think about ask you weigh the pros and cons whether the risk of PSLF not existing / not being approved is worth the 2-300K in payments.May be a moot point - it sounds like you're 3 years in, so my guess is you don't have much of an option but to continue with it.

Pre-approvals are going to be generic as they come.

"If I could get it approved by my team, I might be able to offer to take over paying your mortgage payments and you;d sign offer the house" "would that allow you to feel out from under and be able to move in your life?"

The answer to this question may be obvious, but this is all new to me.Does getting pre-approved for financing by a bank or other lender affect your credit score?

Greetings, I am new to the real estate realm and currently working on my pre-approval.

The owner will show property once there’s an approved offer.

(assuming you didn't plan on doing repairs/renovation yourself, since they require HUD approved contractors and more info on when how and what your doing.)

But I can't really understand how a bank will approve a business for a 250k house investment....
