If he is legit doing his job, he needs to verify that no new comps popped up or market conditions changed that significantly change his estimate of value.

Frankly, I don't even know how the magistrate and the prothonotary are going to handle the appeal since I assume you don't have an actual lease with them to verify the rent amount.

However, for any duration more than a few years San Diego beats every Midwestern city for RE ROI for any duration.  100% verifiable. 

I did just find a company who does both and I think it's around 20% total, but I have not had a chance to speak with them to verify. 

So if you're investing in multiple deals, you'll need to gain some understanding of the markets, review sponsor track records, verify their financials projections make sense and that they're using reasonable assumptions, make sure the fees aren't excessive (fees vary for each deal).

The borrower and the asset itself.Borrower:Your credit (are you a trustworthy borrower), are you capitalized enough to float this project/ cover the debt, track record (borrower/ contractors experience).Asset:Comps (as-is & ARV), LTV metrics (lender can help verify these if you have questions), detailed budget and scope of work, tentative schedule, exit strategy.Of course any lender/ partner will dive in a little deeper after the initial pitch but if you have all of the above ready for your initial conversation it will go a long way in getting deals approved/ partners on board.

Not certain how to verify that.)

This way he can’t just come back with oh it cost a little more than i thought Anything you sign I would write in that the signature ONLY verifies hours.

Some people make good landlords, some don't, identity that.
