or stay with the current mortgage structure but increase payment/faster?

In general, as a mortgagee, I will weight a Listing Agent BPO very lightly.

The downside I see to getting the multi-family properties is that I wouldn't have much to cover any extra should i not be able to secure full financing for flips, thus it would take me a while to build up my capital for another downpayment (albeit faster than before since I would have rental income from the investment properties to add to my earned income).

The idea is to give more weight to recent contributions.

In my lack of experience, but educated guess, it seems like the faster you get to them the better.

Ground floor footage carries the most weight.

What are the docs called, when and why are they typically recorded.It's easier and faster to buy inheritance leads.

I wouldn't go there though, not when my area Is growing its population much faster.

You can always pay it down faster if you want but it doesn't work the other way.

Change the locks & store their junk in the garage; or store it in your garage @ home. after 30 days, your state law should allow you to dump it. you probably won't see another dime from them but you can get your place rent ready faster.
