Hi Chris, As financing costs will be a big factor in determining profitability, you should be asking HMLs for proposals to fund. 

(we all know the reason why) In the meantime, should I just move forward with the lease and let them know they need to provide it when it becomes available?

Have done some preliminary research and will do a deep dive, just wanted to see what folks thought of there were any obvious reasons why or why not or any markets similar that I should be considering.

They reason why they would do this is to get $4 million, and they won't have to foreclose into a bad resale market. 

You also have to ask about delivery costs and more.LABORLabor charges are trickier to understand, but Google AI to the rescue! 

This helps you stand out from the typical lowball inquiries the agent may have received.After the walkthrough, if you’re ready to move forward, explain your reasoning.

CA maybe as high with their EIR requirements that cost 250k to 500k just for the EIR reports.

Quote from @Jeff Sanders: Personally coming from an agent/investor in CA, I always get a quote from a broker of mine and make sure I am knowledgeable with the fees/costs.

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

I don’t have any horror stories but every time I go to run a check the cost has gone up.
