I understand if a contractor doesn't want to agree to it.

I've spoken with the team and they understand that it is our job to meet your expectations once we've helped you set them and I can assure you that we will.  

Hello!I am new to the real estate game and got my foot in the door by purchasing my first property as a live in renovation. It has been a very exciting and humbling experience. Im towards the end of my renovation and ...

I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

@Sakib KhanRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

While algorithms can analyze data at scale, real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nuances and the most important component of real estate is understanding its value, and that to me (maybe I am old school) but can only be done by physically visiting and walking the property.So for me, factors like local market conditions, property inspections, and borrower credibility can’t be fully captured in a formula.

So you can understand why I was blown away to see prices half that or less with rents 1500-1800 in Duluth.

Now this Jan 1st another slew that pressed the bar of standards and requirements even higher.
