Do you have any projects you are currently working on we could check out?

@Omosalewa Aderonmu Great job on the analysis sheet.

There are two steps you should take here:1 - Speak with an investor friendly agent/property manager who can help you complete a property analysis to determine current value, recommend renovations (if any), and if renovated the after repair value (ARV).2 - Speak with a lender to discuss loan options.

I do however have time to wholly take on the project.

Anyone get the deal analysis newsletter from The Offer Sheet?

Here's the scenario: A little over a year ago my wife and I converted our primary res. to a rental without too much financial analysis.

You may use projected rental income to help you qualify, however you may not only use the projected rents to qualify.  

Were your returns as projected? 

I have a couple of prospect properties I would like to tour and get a better SOW for the Rehab, however because of the still someone hot market we are in realtors are not taking me serious as a potential client and tour the property without a preapproval letter, however the Hard Money Lender will not issue me a Preapproval letter until I get a better estimate of the SOW and come up with a plan on how I am going to do the project which I can't do without looking at the property first with a Realtor. 

It can also be safer to diversify your investment properties across the country.A very good source of local analysis, rereport.com.
