It's a crazy scenario but if you have no skin in the game there is nothing really tying you to the property other than a perceived future profit, which may or may not come to pass.Now, having said that, after a few deals are under your belt with that lender I bet things could change to better suit your needs :)Regards, Lenny

I'd bet there are improvements that you could for 1-2k (or less) that will make it nice.

I'm thinking emailing him the bid as well as well as my pictures with a take it or leave it is probably our best bet.

Your best bet is always going to be to go talk with a few mortgage loan officers.

I am betting on rent growth and appreciation for 30+ years but I'm betting on SF and Honolulu. 

We signed the HUD estimate, deed, note, etc. of which we received all physical copies of.

@Mike Russo -  Then I would recommend @Mark Ainley - he really knows that area well and would be your best bet for what you are looking to do

However, that's not putting physical real estate into his retirement account, just a perk of a Solo 401k plan.

If the city keeps a physical file for each property (I don't know if Boston does) it's possible there is a plot plan in the file if someone else filed for an easement or permit. 

@Taylor Green I know my local MLS includes data about past transactions for any given property, so yes, a real estate agent is probably your best bet.
