it's unlikely, best bet might be leveraging equity from another property or find a partner or hard/private money lender

I'm betting they aren't getting many showings either because 99.99% of buyers use #beds as a search criteria.Spend a couple hundred bucks and get pro photos.

I bet part of the issue is it's not only a utility issue it's building code.

I think your best bet is to find a mortgage loan officer that specializes in FHA and talk through it with them. 

I'll bet the CFPB will have similar results as does HUD.

I bet those people raise a fuss over your "monopoly" on the approved rental slots. 

If they are an experienced flipper who says $30-40K, that means a whole lot more than someone who is just guessing.If they are just pulling numbers out of thin air, and your margin is slim to begin with, it is very easy to go over budget (in fact, bet on going over budget on your first flip) and erase all your profits.But therein lies the catch.

A few asset protection seminars that I've attended mentioned using your entity name would be the best bet to use on contracts, so I decided to form an entity.

Just speak to your tenants and come to an agreement would be my best bet.

Also not to bet on appreciation but I feel Winooski has been on a SLOW but steady upward climb in regards to home value and rents which personally I would take over a market that swings both ways.Best of luckGrant
