Why not see if we could find a local lender willing to do a blanket mortgage on three existing properties plus this new one?

I just moved to the Frederick, Maryland area (originally from Baltimore) after living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the past five years.

Appreciation is almost non-existent in most of the city. 

@Jason DiClemente I originally considered it but wasn’t sure what the volatility of the market is right now.

Just to make sure..... verify that the legal description in Your purchase matches the legal description in; the foreclosure action, the original mtg from the previous owner, and in the deed where the previous owner purchased.Surveyors rarely make this kind of mistake, but that is also possible.If all the previous legal descriptions are the same, dating back to when the house was actually built, are we to assume that whoever built the house just “guessed” at where to build it?

Could I pay off my existing loan with cash, then refinance into a 30 year fixed at say 4%?
