My husband and I are currently approved and are looking at homes in the woodland park area. We've lived in Hilliard for 5 years now, and are Columbus Natives, but we want downtown living. Every house has mold, or needs new roofing, etc. Back in the old days when these great old homes were built, lenders wouldn't have given a second thought to these issues. Now, for some reason, these banks want zero liability and are unwilling to take a chance on anything. I see downtown becoming vibrant, but not without banks willing to lend to families who want to build there lives in the community. I guess my point is...if I had the $400,000 laying around as spare cash...I wouldn't need their loan in the first place...let alone the thought of a mortgage. I agree.
