For the rentals, are you open to buying "fixer uppers"?

I Hope with this new perspective perhaps some new options have opened up for you! 

This is effectively legislation to open up the market to new prospects. 

A reliable lender can fund a loan within days, this opens the door to countless more deals allowing you to get the best possible price. 

Also keep in mind the location.

I do have a property in mind.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

I call it being a concierge Realtor,  I have done it before for investors when they just need doors opened or comps but don't buy listed/on market properties.

The struggle comes when you plan to sell, pay close attention to how the bank would treat the loan in the event you would sell.Even though its a bit more work, banks are typically open to these loans as it provides them with additional collateral in the event of default.  

There are a bunch of different figures associated with this decision, such as new interest rate, old interest rate, cash flow of new property etc, but I'm having a hard time getting my mind around how to analyze the decision mathematically.
