It's an historic neighborhood originally constructed of primarily SFHs right in the center of a metro area in a beautifully maintained neighborhood.

I then had the property surveyed and concurred that the neighbor was correct the lot line did go through the center of the house so my surveyor made the adjustments as we agreed.  

Our stated criteria (we are intentionally vague since we don't charge screening fees, we prefer a wider applicant pool to choose from):Our Criteria:We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals: when the application is not complete or accurate where there is not sufficient income/resources to pay rent and live (2x rent)where there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.

@Jo Weiss, there a few national credit unions that do HELOCs on investment properties: Pen Fed & Navy Federal.

Both from national small lenders that I had not heard of.

This article had me more alarmed than othershttps://ad-venturing.com/2019/03/26/housing-growth-hits-a-brick-wall/They have a graph/picture in the article that show National home sales down 8.2% so far in Feb. 

We usually use Appraisal Nation and their recent track record with my residential loans at least has on average been considerably less than 14-20 days.

I see on small strip center under 5,000 maybe 5%.

National banks are great when you need millions of dollars for a development project, not a creative living situation.

Same thing as lawyers in rural areas where there are few attorneys who can take a case compared to major urban centers where there are plenty of lawyers.As for your situation, slips/trips/falls are under premise liability defense, not so much on the RE side.
