Elgin IL Homes - What types of financing was used? The Blog Dog and I were investigating the total sales for each property type in Elgin IL and we noticed a few striking differences between Elgin single family homes and multi-family home sales.   Depending on the type of property you have will figure into your buying or selling strategy.  Types of financing that buyers use have different criteria and variables that sellers must pay attention too.  On FHA purchases the home must have minimum standards to protect the buyer from unknown future mechanical breakdowns.  When the appraisal is done on these properties the appraisers check the attic spaces, crawl spaces and any basement areas not readily available.  This has never been done before but it's been the trend for the last half of 201...
