Even if they did, the side with evidence tends to win.Your deductions seem reasonable and you are clearly trying to be fair.

Be responsive, communicative, deliver on what you say you are going to deliver (e.g. photos are true representation of your properties, amenities reflect what you actually have).  

All of us Buffalonians are bullish on the Buffalo market and the Bills, but we have fairly biased opinions LOL!

@Jason Burkart To maximize tax benefits, consider buying the property as a rental and leasing it to your mother at fair market value (FMV).

The process was fairly smooth for me.

At NREIG, we strive to provide clear and comprehensive communication about the coverage options available to our clients.

I own a commercial unit, and I’m trying to determine a fair rental rate for the space.

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

I dont screen but to be fair our properties dont attract parties.

Communication has been my burden.
