Unless you plan to lie, you're going to have to disclose that the kitchen remodel was done without permits. 

My focus lies on purchasing a multifamily unit in Los Angeles County.

My issue with your advice is that you advised to LIE and say "my mother is sick and we need a place for her to live so she can receive in-home care and see her grandkids a few more times".

While there's no shortage of options out there,as you mentioned, such as PropStream, DealCheck, REI Simpli, and Podio, the aim is to stand out by honing in on what really matters to investors: ROI, value, performance, efficiency, and possibly price.Expanding on what matters as outlined earlier, here are my assumptions regarding what investors might require if I were to launch a product today:User-Friendly Experience: A platform that feels like second nature to real estate investors, with intuitive design and features that make life easier.All-in-One Solutions: A toolbox stacked with everything necessary for successful investing—from finding leads to analyzing deals and managing properties.Seamless Integration: Make workflow smoother by seamlessly connecting with other essential tools and platforms you rely on.Insightful Analytics: Next-level decision-making with advanced analytics and data visualization that help you optimize investment strategies.Now, the challenge lies in the fact that every investor is unique, and the features might be excessive if they don't offer genuine value.

They will lie and say they don’t smoke (anything).  

It’s been nothing but deceive and lies! 

The critical distinction between cap rates and discount rates lies in their time horizon.

This tenant has ignored my warnings - to stop smoking in the unit (multiple times), having unauthorized guests in the unit without my permission, have spread rumors and lies about me throughout the neighborhood, and have ignored my texts (only method of communication).  

Anyone tell you different they are lying. 

NOT in any way saying you are.. but you get the point I am sure.. your tenants are your life blood so keeping them happy is more important than letting buyers who are not even in contract into the houses just to look around not like it and not buy it.If the home is vacant I suspect they are Leary of squatters and thieves and or they have been burned by wholesalers and their lies about having their partner look at the house.. which is really not their partner but is potential buyers.. very slimy how they do that.
