May be I am overthinking it.Once we have a primary residence loan with a bank, how to approach them for loan on investment side?

There are some websites, such as Trulia, I believe, that gives a crime score, but I prefer the boots on the ground approach. 

Here is my approach with plaster:1.  

Hi guys,So I'm incredibly close to locking up my first Owner Finance deal but have questions about approaching my Private Investor for the Rehab costs.Typically I'd say to my investor that they'd be secure by the note on the property but considering the Owner still holds Title in this case, how can I reassure my Investor he can be secured to a point and not in a second lien position.

Questions, SF or MF and my financing approach.  

There are so many different ways to approach real estate investing.

My thought, however, is that the "sweet spot" on the spectrum is really at the lower end of Value Add (approaching rehibilitation but not there).I'm thinking the sweet spots for my first investment should be:1) 20 Units in Value Add 2) 5-10 Units in RehabBoth of these conditions would be coupled with some quick financial measure to identify properties that warrent further research, perhaps by applying the 2% rule to the sum of purchase cost + upfit costQuestions for those of you with experience in this space1) What is your Sweet Spot and why?

When I approached to buy, seller's agent said that they would be provided in a few days.

We've started to take a more professional approach, recently automating rent collection, getting an umbrella insurance policy etc.

I would like to test out your approach and mail the letters myself.
