- Are the markets likely to experience the most rent and price growth going forward likely to be:     - Markets with the lowest supply coming online    - Markets with the best schools    - Markets with the lowest crimeAnyways - food for thought!

Honestly investor friendly anything is like the RE version of "organic" [insert food product]. 

When an agent send you a video of a property walk through what are key items you are looking out for?

If I purchase this cabin, I want to do a complete update which would require parting with most of the furniture, so I have a few questions:1.How do new owners remove large and numerous items from a cabin if you are remote?  

Over the year, I fixed some items up and raised rents as 3 out of 4 units were under market.

Buying a new, or nearly new property, even when at a 10% premium to the market, typically allows for higher rents to be achieved, provides for warranty transfer on items like appliances, roof, windows, and general construction, and prevents cap ex issues to impact annual ROI for the first 10-20 years.

Of course, your bid will be extremely important, but it would be a challenge to get to the point of executing a bid proposal if we aren't confident in much of the above items.  

Just food for thoughtTry to locate a copy of the lease or a bank statement with her deposit on it as others have mentioned.Best of luck.

The only difficulty is I’m trying to find a multifamily property in an older housing stock area but nonetheless an owners unit inside a larger house is the goal but hopefully I can get lucky with the items you pointed out as well. 

Seasoning and vacancy are a consideration, but a DSCR lender should be able to consider those items accordingly.
