Another angle to consider is if the lender is a correspondent or portfolio lender. 

In my experience it tends to limit legitimate guest inquiries and just leads to unnecessary correspondence with would-be guests who can't book for whatever reason. 

Make sure you have all correspondences in line, proof of police reports (you can call the municipal for records of the calls) and anything else that may be pertinent.

Also, with a 203k loan, you need a direct lender, not a correspondent.

Most investors would prefer to buy a turn-key property - meaning with tenants.Smart investors will want to validate the leases though, to make sure they aren't buying or overpaying for the seller's problems.So, make sure you have leases, ledgers, bank records to show corresponding deposits, utilty records and other expenses, and probably your tax return for the property - all scanned to a Dropbox folder, so you can share after you sign a purchase contract.

Either way, I think you have identified that an appraiser is going to have a hard time and that because of this your ARV may not correspond well to their appraised value.

One alternative would be to use a Private Mail Box address for payments and all correspondence :grin:

However, when the hikes take effect, my ability to raise the rents will be closer at hand corresponding with the end of these current leases.I am going to have an attorney discuss with me my options for dealing with the cleaning fee issue with the current owner and determine if there is something we can work out to make both parties happy with continuing with this deal. 

I wanted to toss my hat in the ring, our company is correspondent lender working with 25 of the top investors.It would be a pleasure to offer up insight and or generate a couple of loan options and quotes for you based on your loan scenario. 

WE use shared google docs for all correspondence.
