I have built a decent amount of equity in several downtown Seattle condos I own (50-125% equity in each one), and will be selling them, using a 1031 exchange, to buy in a lower priced market I have identified to get more bang for my buck.

I chased court records concerning the property for a while and the best I could figure is the land has a home on it that the person took ownership of it by heir but several people within the family had portions of the property.

We have analyzed dozens of properties, submitted several offers and at this point have not yet had one accepted.

The list will have several years of liens listed.

Recently, one of my mobile homes has had several plumbing issues. 1st pipe burst underneath.

I have several friends that live in rent controlled units in SF and have given them similar advice. 

You could try Zions Bancorporation which is everywhere here in in UT and operates several brands throughout the country, or US bank has branches in UT and SC.

I have used CNB Bank to refinance a duplex and several single family homes locally.

Call up several until you find one laid back enough to not feel pressured by them or straight out tell them you don't want any pressure from them.

I have several buy & hold properties so I have experience.
