It is about throughput too.If the house only needs a good cleaning, I am not going to make an offer on the house that warrants a $60K profit.

You will want to research whether the condos are "warrantable" or not, as that may bear on a lender's willingness to lend (or may result in a rate adjustment if the condo is nonwarrantable).

Also very important...verify that the complex is warrantable for financing!

Hire a bookkeeper once the volume warrants.

My vote is for as virtual as possible and in-person when/where warranted.

AND, with the Roofing sales people (we have no salesmen), the independent adjusters, the fraud of the whole system, and the frequency of the "valid" storms that do warrant ins replacements ... yes, our areas have increased Costs and pricing.FYI, I actually got our business GL policy provider (ins co) out of Cali (they are licensed in 3 states) to cover my personal house ins, with more coverage, for 1/2 the price that Geico was raising it to!

Your lender is trying to determine a bunch of things, like safety as you mentioned, but also if it is warrantable or non-warrantable, which affects whether or not you can get an FNMA loan on it.

You are able to use DSCR for non warrantable condos where rents do not need to cover mortgage payment. 

An attorney or a negotiation of sorts as per the above is warranted.

If still in process, some major renegotiations are warranted.
