Maybe you print out a copy of the contract and go meet with them in person about what you're looking to do. 

Here are the things I provide (nicely organized in a folder): - Renovation Overview (see example attachment to this post) - Rehab Cost Breakdown (see example attachment to this post) - Before/After Pictures (see example attachment to this post) - Comps (I print out comps from the MLS that support my sale price and add them to the folder) Of course, while most appraisers are happy to have you around during the inspection and happy to take the information you have, don't just assume this.

I bring up new paradigm here :it's because of too much expansion of money.What I mean by that is because we have lot of money increasing floating around with downpayment as little as 5-20% can already purchase a house with 30 year fixed debt, the number of potential purchasers are increased by a lot, while supply is diminishing, the amount of liquid hard money is increasing, and liquid money is always going to hard asset like residential.if you cut 30 year fixed program and gov no longer print money, the buying power would reduce.

The reason condos make more sense than SFH same foot print, better density.

How many homes under 900ft are sold (and not flipped again with larger foot prints) in the market.

Then print that prelim site plan and take it to the Planning department at your city.

The bank can likely do this cuz fine print and yada yada.

Usually what I do is either list other rental properties I may have in the area already rented by section 8 tenants or go to the MLS and print out recent rental (closed) properties with similar amenities.

Maybe someone who isn't affiliated with the print company can post the name.  

main difference between stock and residential real estate is that, for stock/index we invest along with the people in the world ; so price would go up and up as money is being printed ; while residential is very depend on local supply/demand. if you have 500k and invest in palo alto in 1995, your return would be much more in residential RE than stock ; but if you invest in south dakota and well you know the answer lol
