Here's an example to illustrate my point...

To illustrate we got our spot by showing up to the open house with a completed tenant form and our check books.

There was an illustration but I cannot post images off an ipad.

My suggestion is to create one or more sample (or actual) Investment Analysis to illustrate how a deal will make a strong investment for this lender.

For illustrative purposes ( I don't know what the annual fees are in NY), if it costs $2k/yr to maintain a license (MLS, E&O Insurance, other fees, etc.) and you intend to buy properties that will generate commissions of 3k/ purchase (3% of 100k) then it may pay for itself. 

Wow, @Brandon Hall, thanks for telling this story, which perfectly illustrates the kinds of problems DC law creates for landlords.

Meanwhile, the inventory of completed new homes available for sale is down a massive 50.7% over the same period, illustrating just how strong demand was in 2020.

You partly here illustrate why the lower class properties with higher cap rates actually under perform the higher class properties with lower cap rates in reality.

Financial Benefits are (illustrative): - $40k appreciation-  $3k per year in tax avoidance (interest write-off)The income (puts money in your pocket) comes in the 10th year vs. monthly.  

I like to use the duplex example to illustrate the two homes under one roof concept.
