Lenders, unfortunately, often struggle with nontraditional lease structures, especially when it comes to underwriting future income.In situations like this, I’ve seen some success when the agreement includes language that mirrors a standard lease, fixed monthly payment terms, length of agreement, and unconditional payment language, even if the underlying purpose is transitional housing.

I know I fund them in 10 different markets.. they all mirror detroit in pricing..

I usually recommend clients a pretty easy cosmetic rehab which is refinish floors, replace cabinets with modern white ones, add a white stone, new appliances, new bathroom vanity/mirror/light fixture and add in unit laundry. 

The whole thing is smoke and mirrors.

Yeah, it's just the fact that the uber-easy market is gone-baby-GONE.So the answer to it all is really simple once one understands the reality of it, you either; - (A) Hire a skilled Pro - (B) Become a skilled Pro- (C) Spend rest of eternity starring in the rear view mirror or trying to put square peg's in round holes- (D) Give up, walk away, quit......   

It’s posts like this that make the rest of us double-check the mirror.

What you show mirrors exactly what we are seeing in the Four Corners/Disney area.

And if you place POH on pad sites and sell the POH for little down to just about anyone who can fog up a mirror, then you’re TRYING to transition from business to investment. 

The table with the lighted mirror is actually a dresser, but I appreciate your point — we do have a desk setup in the main bedroom that I’ll make sure to highlight better. 3.
