I usually go for price per sqft 'cause it gives a clearer picture of what I'm dealing with.

simplest answer is the best usually.........thanks!   

Would you expect the property to need extra security?

Take the monthly payment for the other debt you’ve paid and make that an extra payment on the debt with the smallest balance.

Monthly extra payments?

That being said, it has been my experience that there are a lot of extra fees that are piled onto the Loan Estimate and they tend to have a higher rate to recoup more $$$.

It depends on the agent's capacity.I usually connect my investors with my contractor or inspector to walk through the property so that everything can be sorted out in one go, or I have my clients make an offer subject to a walkthrough, allowing us to get the ball rolling. 

@nicole heasley - Maybe I'm just gross, but usually not.

These are usually small things, like a slow leaky toilet, some loose handles in the kitchen, maybe the shower diverter isn't working well (we have very hard water here so its common).While this is rather/sort of embarrassing, I THINK bBy getting them fixed quickly it actually shows that I a landlord that intends to maintain my properties and provide at least a decent place for my tenants to live.To save a bit of money, I change out the locksets on the door myself. 

It is 550K now, rented but its too big 5 bdr 3 baths so its always a big family that wants it and usually they trash it.
