@Jay HurstThese questions came after I analyzed the closing documents for my two recent purchases, one cash and one with mortgage.

Document these improvements and present them to your insurer.Working with an insurance broker specializing in multi-family properties in California is crucial.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

This announcement has been poorly documented and I expect better from BP.

As a lender, what type of lawyer do I go to draft loan documents for me?

What documents do I need drafted, & is there a website that will work for this purpose so that I don’t need an attorney to draft these?

Assume you have a document permitting them to stay in the Premises after closing ?

It sounds expensive, but perhaps the property falls under certain requirements, including interconnecting the detectors.Maybe this can shine some light:https://wbcapp.oaklandnet.com/cs/groups/public/documents/translateddocument/b3dk/mdaz/~edisp/dowd003911.pdf

Others might be fine with taking risk, but least by doing this a person can get an idea of what might go wrong.e) Legal document analysis: it will usually take a few days to go through the legal document properly, as almost inevitably there are tons of gotchas that either have to be explained, or mitigated with a side letter.That is the very short summary of what I do.
