Some of them will even help you with the pre-approval process through their preferred lender.If you want to be their first go to guy, don't be a pain in the rear to deal with.

Preferably a 50/50 deal without me having to pay an arm in leg to get started. 

Peeling paint, ripped screens, bad roof, broken windows, damaged siding, wood rot, chimney falling down, etc. are all things (and more) that they will cite you on.Personally, actually living in Milwaukee, I prefer rental properties to be held to a standard of decency because I don't want rentals dragging down the neighborhood. 

We prefer to work with local financial institutions that service their own loans.

I'd prefer to see you pay retail (as long as it cash flows), get the unit rent ready and use your brokers license to find your own tenants so, at least that way, you have more control over the investment.

Most lenders would prefer not to do construction financing if it's avoidable.

I also prefer showing appointments vs. open houses to prevent that stampede atmosphere.

My preference is no or little money up front. 

I would prefer a fourplex on land if possibleThanks all!

That is to say that every lender has different guidelines, restrictions, hot buttons, and asset class preferences.
