Feel free to look through all the agent profiles and see if there is a common firm that many of them are a part of. 

Common sense isn’t common anymore I guess... 

I would ask if the following common exclusions are covered or can be bought back, if you don't want to take the risk for the following: Mold and Fungus, Sewer and Drain Back Up, and flood.

Common unforeseen circumstances include, but are not limited to, delays in getting permitting or scheduling an inspection (though an expeditor may assist with this or a third-party engineer if that's permitted by the locality), the quality of the GC/subs/vendors and whether there is transparent and timely communication and conformance with the plans drawn up by the architect/engineer, zoning issues, setbacks/variances, what materials to use for the new builds (e.g., are you going to use cinder blocks or poured concrete for the foundation?)

It is common not to have comps for multi-family because they have slow turnover and there just are not as many duplexs as there are houses so the sales comparison approach is not very accurate unless you do have a good recent comp in the area and that is why the rent is very important.

Is there any common area that should be maintained such as a lawn?

Curious about common ways to find private lenders when friends and family aren’t an option.

I thought that was common, at least it was 20+ years ago when I was going to school in that area.

I don't know how banks are about doing that sort of thing nowadays, but in other times it's been common to have an initial mortgage at a certain rate, and get a 2nd mortgage that is completely separate, but is a long term loan as well.

So much so that a common exception found in commitments and policies reads:"Any rights, claims, or interest of (the mortgagor) in the land or any claim that the foreclosure by (lender) is invalid."
