These specialized services can greatly streamline the investment and management process.I've done some preliminary research and found some promising options, including BlueVine, Axos Bank, Mercury, and Novo.

One option is to include a preliminary approval of the project as a condition of purchase, but this can take time and might make your offer less attractive if other people are looking at the property.

Right now we're focusing on the preliminaries - educating ourselves, building a team and a network, and learning how to hunt down deals.I look forward to interacting with the BP community!

There are also owners that buy at $30,000 home that is dilapidated, in the worst part of town, and not in rentable condition to anyone that has a job or just standards in general.I suppose there is the chance that you were done wrong by 5 property management companies, and had a run of horrible tenants, but I would wager a guess you got what you paid for. 

Find an appraiser and ask for a preliminary appraisal.

I would also like to use this thread as a way to reach out to other wholesalers in my state so that maybe we can start some preliminary convos and perhaps eventually create a networking/collaboration group.

I am in the process of working with local Architect/General Contractor in creating preliminary plans for a condo/townhome subdivision in North Phoenix on a R3 lot.

If you're going tell me the last 10 years are going to be similar for the next 7-10, I'm willing to make a larger wager against you.

They typically are primarily handling the finances for the Association, collecting the maintenance fees and paying vendors, as well as preparing a preliminary Budget for the upcoming year.

In fact, I would wager the community would love to hear unbiased opinions about going through those programs.
