., modern designs, open concepts) are resonating with buyers or renters?

The buyer was seeking a conventional loan. 

Just do your best to get all tenants to sign the letters if a buyer asks for them. 

I observe investors dismissing so many properties that fail to meet this arbitrary standard but perform far better than properties that pencil as "1" properties" on an excel spreadsheet. 

If you have no money, then those you are borrowing from are risking a lot more because you lose nothing if it fails. 

Most fail to take this last step, or merely obtain insurance certs where they are listed as a certificate holder. 

The only lender that would take that deal is a lender that wants you to fail so they can take the deal from you.

I would check with lenders though to make sure you dont get stuck and your buyers cant get an owner occ loan because of this..

In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing? 

I also could have sued him for my full commission because I had him sign an exclusive buyers agency agreement prior to the showing, had I wanted to.
