I always insure that my treatment of all tenants remains professional and unbiased.

I think you'll get a lot of that - people in the business suggesting their market, whether on your list or not - you are not likely to get an unbiased assessment of which market is best.  

We can also be a great source of unbiased information on properties and are educated on what investors are looking for if not investing themselves :)  I think it's best to meet the people you are going to work with.

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

Hey Seth, I am an agent, so I'll try to be unbiased...My honest opinion is to utilize an investor minded agent when you're getting started and target an on market property. 

You want an unbiased Inspector.Then:Do a SWOT analysis of your resourcesWrite down your real estate goalsPick an asset type: SFH, 2-4 units, 5+ units, or something else like MHP.

But But But.....I love it when your asked about a deal - several very honest opinions are thrown in - very unbiased ones I might add and the OP but but but........Your getting very honest - unbiased - opinions from experts - you can chose to listen that they don't think it is a good deal - does it mean it isn't?

They could give you an unbiased feel for the property as well.

That way you get another unbiased opinion and can then have the conversation with the lender if there is a difference in the two appraisals worth discussing.Alternatively look for another lender.

Expertise aside, it is always nice to have a "fresh pair of eyes" look at the project with an unbiased point of view.
