@Jay Hinrichs - 😁 hope all is going well for you.Like you I don't do seconds Mike,,  I know the BK judges have ultimate authority.. but did not realize stripping the seconds was common or very common.. what I see on huds were I am doing new originations of distressed assets is the second taking 2k to 5k when they were owed 50 to 100k.. so I know the loss's are real in seconds ergo not for me.. 

After you have worked out inspections, authorize your lender to order the appraisal.  

I'd still have an attorney review it regardless to ensure your interests are protected and that the seller isn't being preyed upon with the wording therein.As an individual who has the authority to execute a legally binding document such as a purchase contract, I would never use a document that wasn't approved by the state or drafted by a lawyer in my state.

I offered as long as I was authorized to run unlimited STR.

HUD yes section 8 yes  housing authorities run by cities yes.but who knows whats the jurisdiction what city and state.. maybe if you post those details someone can acutally answer you..right now with your post there are 50 states to choose from and a million cities need to narrow it down if you want any constructive feedback  :) 

This can also include documentation of rent payments.Up to two years of tax returns, released to the lender via an authorization submitted by the buyer using IRS form 4506-T.Recent pay stubs and contact information for each borrower’s employer.

Most of these other services are simply white lable authorized resellers, so they mark up the price in addition to the data charge.Click2Mail uses such a database, but the interface is pretty confusing.

Show you are an authority in your market.Here is the most important thing.Most people read these posts andsay .. well crappers, that is a bit involved dude.. yeah yeah...

However, I recommend you document the change of ownership and that the lease remains in place.You should only have someone else sign for you if they have the proper authority.

There is paperwork they need to fill out to give you the authority to speak on their behalf.
