A lot of what you've requested is localized and dependent upon where you're going to purchase your buy and holds.

I would request the procedure for doing such from the Tax collector and Director of the water dept.

No points.I don't plan to but do private lenders request a cut of the cash flow?

Just checked with county, there are no requests being made to change any of the zoning on the block

There are many who would be happy to show you around on the basis of nothing more than a request, and many more who will do so with some sort of evidence that you have some money (like a bank statement.)People on this board like to talk about "control" as it relates to tenants.

If they need anything else, I need a written request and it's installed for them (not tacked to the exterior or roof of my property).

They were pretty unresponsive to my requests when we were trying to list deals.  

(I have requested how many are in-fact section 8.)  

The second is a lot of the places we requested Quotes from have been telling us there are no fixed rate programs for investment properties, or if they do have them they are far greater then current interest rates.Does anyone have a contact or someone they can recommend in the Upstate New York (Binghamton Area) for Funding and/or insight on these matters above?

I requested some information from her agent and only recieved very poor, awkwardly taken, funny angles of the exterior.
