Poorly maintained properties and depressed areas are on the radar scope of planners, economic development, building regulations, the fire department, tax collectors and other municipal/county officials who, be  it known, really want you out of business and properties changed, I know because I worked with them.

But if your coming at it from the construction/development side of things, pretty much any bank financing you get would be running through the commercial loan department. 

The Real Estate Department at NACA said they would try to find another referral for him, but no indication on how long that process will take (not a priority since he technically HAS a realtor assigned).

Anyone have any experience working with this Department?

go to AmericanClassicHomes.biz to check out our property managers and commercial department.

The requirements for getting a real estate license include the following:  (6) Evidence of good reputation for honesty, trustworthiness, and integrity sufficient to safeguard the interests of the public; and(7) Completion of a criminal history background check through the Department of Arkansas State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation as set out in § 17-42-315.

@Mark Gallagher just to clarify he spoke with someone (didn't get a name or department info) over the phone from the city who read the same materials that we found online: http://phillyzoning.com/rsa-5/The individual from the city didn't provide a definitive answer but stated that based on the fact that its already broken up and has been for 5 years they could assumed that its should be fine.Hopefully that clears it up

You should check with your local building inspector or permitting department to determine if you are allowed to leave the dead wire in the walls or if it has to come out.  

Answer may vary by state and Commercial vs Conventional loans.My experience has been that there is an affidavit signed stating "no portion of the down payment is from borrowed funds" :glup:Discuss with your loan broker or the loan department of your lender.

Yes, I am very away and have a great legal team advising in that department.
