I have a Owner occupied homepath loan and it took a little over 30 days to close, pretty much identical to a regular conventional loan.

So, get familiar with seller's lease - the terms may or may not be identical to what you could live with.Plus, I doubt the tenants have any idea what their existing lease actually says.Best to you.

Hello, I have a prospective tenant who is requesting that I forego the credit check as her credit is locked to do identity theft that occurred a while ago, but she is still getting hit with strange charges here and there.

The lease states those are the only 2 payment options, and sometimes there is only 1 - if a tenant has an identical rent payment as another, they can only pay online.

Anyway, she wants a documentation fee upfront, as well as proof of your identity.

(of course, different furnishings, but otherwise identical.)

If you guys get out of town appraisers, I can understand the bias.Also, the question posed was with all having equal knowledge, experience, if that's the case I'd think they would come up very close together or carried to being exactly equal, the values would be identical.

If no, how is information/identities verified?

Property which is facing south in China can often be rented out for up to 10 or 15% more than other identical properties.

Hypothetically, let's say it's worth $335k (an identical unit sold next door last month, so I do know right about what it's worth at retail) and I think I can make a cash offer at $275 and he'd take it.
