Again, you certainly don't have to verify it this way and to some extent that is why most invest with turnkey companies - it makes it easy and is a sort of one-stop-shop but I think your definition of doing your 'homework' may be different than my definition.

As always, shop around and compare terms to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Focus on keeping upfront costs down and shop around for lower interest rates or lender credits.

So, a risky reclamation project, like many shopping centers bought in potentially gentrifying neighborhoods. 

If they think it's too much then tell them they should shop around for somewhere else.

Raise rents, reduce expenses (shop insurance, appeal taxes, refinance, etc). 3.

But I am still shopping before making up my mind.

Hear they drag borrowers along and by the time the borrowers learn their leverage fate it's too late to shop the loan elsewhere.

And I was just like todays bigger shops I had multiple LOC in the millions that we used to lend to others..
