This is how the first loan (when I bought it from dad) was done... only appraised the front house... but the bank is currently not interested in doing that (neighbors house just sold for $600K, we are asking for $280 on the refi)

Yes we are shopping around banks... problem is they charge a processing fee and only tell you after the fact that they don't like the zoning issue... and this is the bank that gave me the last refi but as I expected with a different loan officer and appraisers some are more flexible than others..
