When making offer based on ARV, is it good practice to have future cash refi lender get involved as early as possible (have their appraiser connected?)

Its not really about the information provided but the assistance in practical implimentation.

The MTR was to get around the SFH becoming a 2 unit and under rent control with an LTR.

You can have control and build a business, and learn hands on.

On a practical basis, you are attempting to sell real estate without a license.

I think it would be lower risk than a novation since I'll have more control. 

I do not have a sheet but I typically budget $150 for lawn, $150 for pool if applicable, $100 for cable, $100 for water, $300 a month for electric (depending on property size and your local utility costs), $50 for pest control, and another $200 per month in misc. 

Hey @Ruth Reyes, I agree with both @John Underwood AND @James Carlson.I never really look hard at condo's due to the HOA fees and the fact that a controlling member can rule the roost.For example we almost bought a ski condo at the Inn of the 7th Mountain in Bend Oregon.

For outside lighting if possible invest in good quality solar exterior lighting to help control the electrical costs.

In order to get out of Freddie Mac's "Limited Multifamily Experience Sponsor" category, you must have ultimate ownership & control of either (i) 3 multifamily properties [1 of which you've owned for at least 2 years], or (ii) 1 multifamily property which you've owned for at least 5 years.
