I have never used a community bank, so I was wondering what they mean by community for someone getting a loan, ie do I have to live in geographic area of the bank is or where the property is being financed?

.* For a great presentation, create a PDF with property details, photos, comps used to support your ARV, description of what needs to be done on rehab/repairs, numbers breakdown showing how you arrived at the profit number for the investor, etc.

I think quality photos and a good description helps.

As an investor I was comfortable with negotiating, images, descriptions, and pricing.

I'm still baffled as to how and why this stuff exists and perpetuates.I agree:  if you're an Austinite who would appreciate increased housing options, better affordability nearer to the core, less economic/geographic segregation, and who knows, maybe even a brief reduction in our ever-worsening traffic, support the rewrite!  

Then the 70w goes back in.The description needs to be simplex people will give it maybe 3 sentences make it count.One picture per room.

@Tim BradleyLove following along, plus your entertainment value in your descriptions are superb.

We were encouraged by a broker to include the descriptions and VINs in the contract, and we would need them to request duplicate titles from the state.

I'm just getting started so I've learned that I should have been a little more descriptive with my post.

I wrote them a snail mail letter and sent it to the address of some house in bellevue with a description of the property, general terms of sale, etc same as I was sending to everybody.
