Borrowers should always keep their specific situation in mind when discussing terms with their lender.

Hi BP,Specifically those familiar with the Baltimore, Maryland .  

The comments section addresses even more specific questions as well.

What pitfalls should I beware of NOLA, specifically the French Quarterb.) 

I am looking for a specific house (duplex) that needs a specific amount of work (<50k) in a specific area (around Auburn/Oxford, Mass) among other expectations.

We definitely have a well written out LLC with a good operating agreement however because the mortgage note itself is in the name of one of the partners, I’m unclear as to whether he specifically is at risk if something were to go wrong at the property.

Call the smallest 5-10 banks in your market and tell them specifically what you're looking to do. 

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!

(Ontario, specifically Ottawa area would be great if you have experience and comps)

I've thought about writing the letter specifically about the back-tax situation, but my intuition is this will probably trigger negative emotion.
