However if he is mismanaging his properties to where they are unsecured and/or nuisance properties, he may be what some call a slumlord, which is the natural enemy of code enforcement (and the neighbors) 

In which case you need a Certified General appraiser and much higher fee, but I digress.Anyway, If the lender is using an AMC (Appraisal Mgmt Co) they are probably trying to make as much as they can for themselves, hence the $1200.

Given his age, he already has trouble going up and down the two-story stairs, so waiting longer would mean the guy would just be further entrenched.At the end of March I certified-mailed him the Non-renewal notice with a move-out checklist, and regular snail-mailed him the same thing two documents just to be sure.

Send them a certified letter, within the timeframe required where you live, that itemizes the cost of the repairs and a check for the remainder (if applicable).

As opposed to naturally occurring affordable housing or workforce housing, targeted affordable housing means the property has rent or income restrictions in place to maintain affordability for an extended period.Through the TAH Express program, borrowers benefit from a condensed prescreening process, simplified nonnegotiable legal documents and a standardized underwriting process, resulting in lower transaction costs.

If the repairs are structural in nature I would need to get a 203 loan. 

Though my guess is online banks only do bench top. also know that banks almost universally want heloc appraisals to be conservative due to the nature of the debt (revolving) 

@Simon Stahl First, you did not quote Paragraph 6 of Regulation D of Rule 501 correctly: "Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year;"If you make $220k per year, for the last 2 years, and you marry someone with no income, that does not mean that you are NOT accredited now.

Debating whether or not to cover it with duct tape or hire a certified removal tech.

Get an inspection done and make sure the electrical panel is certified.
