The changes would require an "Integrated Pest Management Plan" for certain properties, add new requirements for Landlord to prevent mold, etc.

Many people lack the integrity in this "field".

So if the underwriter on your file for a coventional loan were to see that PG document then they will count all 18 of your properties as "financed properties," since it proves you're personally obligated.If the PG document were not in the file then you only have 1 financed property (assuming your primary residence is financed and you have no other properties in your name or personally obligated on).If the commercial lender integrates the mortgage or promissory note with the PG or personal guarantee it will most likely be flagged so having them separated can prove to be advantageous atleast from a fannie mae conventional financing stand point.

Be upfront about being a newbie, they can smell a BS’r a mile away. 3rd meeting: more integration.

Maybe the best approach is an integrated method.

At the same time, a degree in architecture could give you an advantage in understanding structural quality/integrity when analyzing properties. 

Have API's to automation and integration.

It does a good job showing all the action your numbers receive... it can also integrate with podio for free (using the globiflow extension) and every time someone calls your number podio will automatically update and it can tag it as an absentee owner list or driving for dollars list, etc.

On a composition shingle roof, you would have a flashing that is integrated into your shingles (like the roof vents you have now) below the flashing (or integrated into the flashing) is a mechanical base that connects to the structural members of your home (rafters) or the deck (plywood), dependent on the racking manufacturer.

I have done a little research on companies that integrate with QB and can track project costs specifically.
