I took a look at the lease, and it specifically prohibits the use of any heating or lighting source other than the gas heating system provided, and the electricity for lighting - no kerosene lamps, no alternate heating system.So I sent the KAPA letter (as advised by our excellent real estate attorney). 

Get on some wholesaler lists so you have alternative options to the MLS, but the MLS is still fine for first-time buyers (and safer).

Many appraisers are loathe to materially change an appraisal as that calls into question all the other appraisals they've done...You can try 2 things:Have conversations with the lenders about the appraisals and why you think they're flawed.

I just use alternatives such as granite tile or modular granite.  

That pro forma cash flow on this new development may never materialize.

Much more expensive and time consuming the the alternative of shutting down the current field line, leaving it where it sits, and putting in new field line elsewhere on your property. ** NOTE unless you have an earthquake the septic tank is self should last until the end of time it's just a big tank made of concrete. 

I got all this work done for around 8k including materials and it took 2 days.

This bothers me, because I mostly get searches that have some flaws and need a question or two answered.Does anyone out there have an alternative to protitleusa that has a similar product but with some customer service?

We plan to pull out about 100k to pay off some the debt from materials for the rehab and use the remaining balance to purchase our next two properties.

I would also have to assume your paying for all materials.We have an onsite handyman staff that charges either $45/hr for normal maintenance and $72/hr for specialized services plus materials.
