You can get a pre-Aprovel from a Bank or a Lender the difference is the Bank offers only there own products and most lenders work together with multiple banks and other lenders so you can shop around for the best condition.

STRs tend to suffer during downturns and this will be compounded by the avoidance of non-essential travel by many Americans.

Also, you can shop this loan a bit to see if you can find a better rate.

Once you have obtained a Trailing 12 month P&L statement and rent roll, a mortgage broker can "shop" the deal through multiple lenders, although Freddie mac and Fannie mae are the preferred option for most multifamily investors in my experience. 

Then when you are done shopping, the lender you choose will need to pull their own report.

I’ve mentioned this strategy to many of my friends but they all just want to live in a pretty house they like so they go about it the American way of buying a house at market value that they can just barely afford because it’s in a good neighborhood and they want to live in a nice neighborhood.

Retail used to be a place where you go shopping, spend your time, etc.

how does an agent comp a building or shopping center for sale. 

Can you shop around for contractors and agents to help with the rehab?
