.- Find out what the seller is looking for outside of price; perhaps there is something you can offer them to sweeten the deal (ie quick close, longer timeline, rent-back, etc)- Ask for any documents and disclosures up front, and after you're in escrow, take your due diligence period seriously and dig into any unknowns- Find a general contractor you trust to walk through the property with you and give you a ballpark estimate, and also see if there's a way to add a separate entrance/lock off and separate laundry (much more attractive for tenants)And most importantly, don't let all of these bullet points overwhelm you — it can be a lot of work, but it can also be very rewarding!

Too many unknowns.

I gave my bank a call and they said that it's unknown what information his bank needs from me.What is standard process in these types of situation?

I feel good with the numbers but still some unknowns (like will I find renters??). 

Obviously there are a lot of unknowns, I’m just looking for generalizations.

I have been blessed with tenured help in the real estate world and I am posting in this forum hoping to have accountability as I face my fears of the unknown.

The two largest unknowns when doing early pro forma analysis are site and hard cost.

I usually say not to purchase SFH's rentals but there are a few conditions I approve of and having great demand for them now and the unknown future. 

There are a lot of unknowns so you have to do a lot of homework to ensure it's a clean sale, then you need cash on hand to purchase, then you need cash on hand to renovate. 

Pay off balances have a lot of unknowns.
