i currently own a duplex and have been land lording for 18 yrs. i have found a potential investment opportunity  30 miles away. it is located in a community slated for substantial growth over the next decade due to the current construction of new semiconductor manufacturing facilities. the property is a 24 unit apartment building. supposedly it historically maintains 95-100% occupancy and has a waiting list. my question is what documentation should i expect the lenders to want?
