Not that this is always indicative of heaving or moisture, but other signs can include cracked tiles or grout cracking in an otherwise good tile job, bulged wood flooring, corners of vinyl squares coming up, etc, especially if near a bath or kitchen sink.

The best advice the HA had for me was, "You know what it's going to be like trying to get maintenance done or anything else, but maybe as this property is so well-done it won't be an issue," which was sort of my square one position too.

What is the square footage?

Start talking to you planning department now and try to have the plans and permits squared away asap right after closing.

I am also in Washington (over near Aberdeen) and also love multifamily properties.

We (two people and two miniature dachshunds) have been living in a 350 square foot apartment for ten years.

house and we added significant square footage, knocked down walls, opened up walls..the whole enchilada.

Both properties are priced at $80 per square foot, which I think is pretty good because they are both in great shape (I would be putting nothing into them in the way of improvements as they have both been remodeled recently).

I don't think so.It was easy to find on MLS because of the exact square footage and style.

If they can keep the files in house rather than selling off where things have to fit into a square you can get more leeway.Every bank has different levels of a mix when it comes to their loan portfolio.
