Only 1 was found through the MLS, but more recently that has become my main option.

I just bought a Lake House in Maine this past summer.

Wow - did you see XYZ syndicator who owned 123 Main St was foreclosed on the deal and the property was taken back by the lender?

Hey David, I think the main issues you will encounter is the minimum loan amount and minimum as is value.

Hey @April Birdsong, You can use the Ring or a stand alone camera.I don't use a Ring but I have a stand alone, solar powered camera pointing at the main entrance.

You can obtain up to 90% LCTV for your main primary house that you are living or 80-85% for your investment properties.

Our plan is to rent each of the 3 bedrooms of the main house as mid terms and the in-law as a long term (already have a tenant in there).

This is actually one of the main reasons many agents and investors may not like them generally speaking (they are often not serious professionals with a proven track record of success, the vast majority are struggling to find their first deal and are time-wasters to interact with).   

Mainly because home inspectors already have tools and systems for quickly generating thorough inspection reports to help you negotiate credits, concessions, and/or price reductions.
