Do you have proof of loan approval?

In addition, if housing prices do dip (they inevitably cycle), having real estate in your portfolio could be a big win.3.

Banks like proof the funds were in a bank well before closing. 

Perhaps you can provide a funds tracking and proof of funds to your investor.

It's also not fool proof, but is a good start to get a feeing for different areas 

Newer construction code requires better earthquake-proofing, but it's still aimed at preventing a building collapse rather than holding the value of the structure.About 15 years ago there was all the talk about "100 year homes" but I haven't seen much come of that.

Also, there’s much to delve into on of those scenarios, like what type of cashflow or investment do you want, etc. residential, multi-res, small multi-res, commercial, industrial, etc.There seems to be fewer deals around these days and this typically benefits the more experienced and skilled investors but there are always multiple investors that get “tripped-up” in these markets due to them relying on recent “fortunate” market circumstances only to realize the markets cycle and they weren’t prepared or didn’t underwrite properly to account for unforeseen potential.There are more considerations, but this is a start.

If you are not coming in cash and you plan to hold for five or more years, its the best time to pick up a property at a steep discount and make it work until the cycle turns again.  

I have docs etc if you are interested in verification and proof that I have dealt with that company.It is so unfortunate that I have to follow up what @Stylianos Kalamaras wrote concerning Blue Gate Capital.

My goal for this is to finish the course within the next 2 months and come up with a plan and proof of concept STR somewhere within 15 minutes from my home.
