I'd be happy to connect and answer any questions you might have about that process:)  Since purchasing that property three years ago, I've actually moved across the company to CA, but still manage our MA investment myself. 

We are educated but we lack the practical experience, our heads go blank once we try to map out the process and due diligence with hard money lenders and contractors. 

During the convertion process each unit will need to be measured and stamped.

But, we include that in our calculations as part of the process.  

If so, can we process the warranty deed paperwork ourselves or do you need a lawyer?

I likely would qualify/feel comfortable for somewhere in the $450k range, and am in the pre-approval process now.Rising interest rates scare me. 

They didn't seem to care and it didn't affect anything about the process.2) Same for asking for the bank to increase the amount to be increased?

So my husband and I are in the process of looking for homes in Williamsburg.

I need help with structuring a plan to find these specific homes that are free to start off and also how the closing process works.

I am in the process of purchasing my first home in chicago through FHA financing and the appraisal came in about 5k under contract price.
