When a property comes available that matches that criteria, I move on it.#3:  Short cuts are not efficient. 

I am hoping the cash flow will match their numbers in first year (fingers crossed) and all the "other expenses" will start from 2nd year onwards.

Verify that the addresses given by the tenant on the application match the addresses on the credit report.

Quote from @Chris Olandese:  I like this too - it's very definitive which matches my work ethic.

I noticed some T accounting shows matching liabilities, so I'm a little confused as to whom the actual lender would be in that instance.

As I have gotten older I have started to focus more on my balance sheet vs cash flow, which also matches my real estate investment strategy.

For every good matching comp at a high price theres 16 poor priced matching comps that the appraisers only focus on.

We focus on CapEX before beauty. as a realtor we understand selling or renting homes you have to make the home function, Roofing, windows, electrical and plumbing. after we address these we focused on beautify making sure the upgrades match the area and is forward thinking with color scheme, flooring, and flow.

Great ideas, but the property has to match the package.

There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents in your area.
