:) Super Jumbo is generally up to $5m & still largely algorithmic like you are used to, larger than that it's generally done on a one-off basis.Worth noting is that technically the lender still must follow the post-recession "Ability To Repay" rule, meaning the lender can't just go "oh, 40% down, we can't lose even if we have to foreclose, loan approved!"....

I have a large cash, equity and asset base, (6 figures).

Hello all,I am thinking of putting my current rental on the market, the mortgage is on my name but I added my parents and sister on the deed.

Here in the same county, a friend of mine had an large, older ranch home, built in the 50's, on a gorgeous piece of riverfront property (in a very desirable, upscale, neighborhood), that still had the original electrical meter , and the power cable /electrical feed coming into the house right next to the front door!!!

Typically I get a quote from a large company in Indy and then he takes 20% off.

My primary goal as of right now is working towards finding a great house hack; whether that might be a multifamily property or a large single family home that could appeal to the college town of Eugene.

I'm trying to determine if it is worth my attempting to fix the foundation (and possibly adding an in-law via garage conversion) or selling "as is" for a high discount. 

I just started a flip and finally found someone able to get it done adding a bedroom and bathroom in the basement as well.

#1: You maintain control over specific value-adding potential. #2: You ALWAYS have to pay full market value for shares. #3: You're MUCH more reliant on the whim of the economy with shares, vs. property.#4: People always need to live SOMEWHERE (even you).#5: It's much easier to BORROW to buy property, vs. shares (and STILL obtain positive cash flow).

Another way would be to look for similar rental ads on Craigslist or ZIllow to see what other properties are looking for...From a negotiation standpoint, you should have put in your offer already including the roof and HVAC since you already know about them.
