A preapproval letter that assumes the rents you state will not close when the appraiser does a rental survey and it results much lower.

We always care about gross income, expenses, deposits, roofs, mechanicals, structural issues, survey, title, and all of the other things we should be investigating. 

It's an empty lot, so besides a survey (which i'm afraid could take awhile).

I have put together a survey to see what it is people look for in a rental home.  

Just a helpful idea for you to consider possibly doing a market survey based on cities, zip codes, and potential economic growth numbers for that area.

Paying 81k for duplex. 11k closing costs (including re taxes, lawyers, title and survey) and figure I’ll be putting in about 20k in rehab...ARV about 140k. 

The fact is that flood insurance is usually pretty cheap.It should have shown up in the property survey, if not anywhere else.

According to a Forbes article, " a survey conducted by Wakefield Research, found that one-third of Americans are more afraid to start their own business than to jump out of a plane!" 

I recently participated in a Duke student survey detailing landlord experiences with S8 in my city, and I railed on all the problems, inefficiencies and contradictions in their stated goals versus methods.

I made a lot of money on those but a monkey could have done the same with that market.Currently I work out of the house and contract out rental survey's and market studies for various property management firms, investors, and lenders.If you have any questions please feel free to pick my brain.
