The chart below shows the job and population trends for some of the most popular investment markets. 

The chances of your being able to do so in your investor client's timeline are very small, never mind also finding a property that meets their needs.Others may feel differently, but in this case I think you should use the MLS to its fullest capabilities, set up precise searches for your client to find exactly what they need.As far as liens on the property, that comes up in the title search but it's never a bad idea to check ahead of time (i.e., as early as possible).

Also, referring back to the earlier chart, even if you didn't qualify for an FHA loan on this sort of property, you could still finance a single-family with as little as 5% down. 

I have complied a lot of data, charts, and local research, but don't know with any kind of certainty what to be expecting.  

I dont know the next step but this is precisely the problem (opportunity) I was trying to create.Going to drive past the house today as I do not even recall it anymore even though it was found a week ago.  

As you can see in the chart below, lowest rate goes to D (my credit union who I just had a random mortgage officer), lowest closing cost w/ regards to a low rate is S (a broker who was very easy to work with and answered a lot of questions), and P is the lender I spoke about above.  

The only reason I would ever recommend paying market value for property is if a HOT appreciating market was calculated to hit that precise area within the very near future.

The median price of a single-family home in Santa Clara County hit seven figures for the first time last month: $1 million exactly (see redline in the chart below).

@James Wise Very appealing chart!

It sounds pretty fair to chart an extra fee for landscaping if he requests it (just get it into the lease!)
