i remembered of visiting some of the high rise condos and they have preferred lenders that can do non-traditional loans.

To prevent this from happening I combine the payments and lease signing in one visit.  

I likely annoy my tenants with all the questions if they report any issues as I'm always thinking if what they are reporting is somehow an emergency visit, can wait til I can schedule a repair, or wait til I can take care of it myself next time I'm down.  

They wouldn't have any commission to pay here and that's a perk obviously, and in a buyer's market they would have the assurance of someone 'buying' already (not the case right now). 

Investor numbers still work here, you just have to be patient and leave no stone unturned.I wish you the best of luck and hope you come visit!

I'd love to hear if anyone has visited a meeting before going myself. 

The house is lower than the street level and that got me worried about water.After the first visit I observe the following:    ROOF:- Owner says that the roof has been redone in 2014 and is in good shape.BASEMENT:- There is a drainage canal around the walls connected to a sump pump on the corner.

I get all my paint from Sherwin Williams and if your GC doesn't have a business account there go create one at the branch you will most likely use(your business account is stored only at the branch you create it at, but if you or your GC is visiting another branch they will just have to call the branch you created the account at to get your information).

I've learned from bitter experience to screen like crazy (including home visit) before signing a lease, to ensure the tenant knows how to keep up a property.
