If you are the LL, either an attorney can write one up pretty quickly if it's a complicated lease with special provisions, or your State Association of REALTORS should have a promulgated form you can use (I've had people pay me $150 to write on up for them in Texas where I'm licensed). 

So nothing special there. 

As the consumer, we should be well prepared with your personal info(credit scores, dti, taxes, insurance, etc) to get a baseline estimate.

Hi BJ,I’m a full time Real Estate agent who specializes in investment real estate in Rochester, NY.

I don't have as many tips for solutions mid rehab, but I do know that most, if not all, of the very active investors that I know have established relationships with 2 or 3 lenders that specialize in programs that match their strategy and have an agent or two in the investors target market to help them find more deals without having to put much work into finding them.

@Bethany PeysenTo expand your real estate portfolio, stay connected with agents and lenders, conduct thorough inspections, and prepare for longer closing times.

Don't rush into deals, and remember, the Tampa market has a lot to offer if you're prepared and flexible.

Quote from @Glenn Barlow: To BP Family:Looking for recommendations for a Strategic Marketing Company that specializes in (or at least) understands our RE business.  

REIA meetings, meetups, calling the "handyman special" signs, calling the "we buy ugly houses" or the "we pay cash" billboards and signs.  

Prepare for competitive offers by getting pre-approved, having a proof of funds letter, and being flexible.
