If the properties on 3 different parcels, and you use conventional financing, I bet they make you use 3 different loan spots. 

They might be able to give you a rough idea on more specific stuff over the phone like flooring or windows, etc. if you give them the exact sizes but for the most part they have to physically go and see the place.

I'm in San Diego and would love to invest locally to be more involved in the deal, but not sure if I'm up to bet 600K+ on my first deal, rather than something out of state for a fraction of the cost, lol.

Meanwhile there is the physical education.

I understand the current climate and physical meet ups might not happen for a while but also open to virtual.  

I want to compile a file of information, either digital or physical, that could potentially be used as a piece of documentation showing past successful investments to a bank or lender in the future.

If you can find a place with a suite or duplex, that is your best bet for getting starting. 

@Robin Morales I haven’t, it could be a good play but I personally went with the downtown bet.

Best bet would be with private/individual landlords.

They just lowered it to $15k during COVID but I bet it goes back up to $50k when the economy is reopened.
