My last purchase was from a letter sent 8 months prior to the seller calling me.

I've started my direct mail campaign and the phone is ringing.Now What's the best way to determine ARVs and CMAs prior to physically seeing a property?

I wanted to purchase a property prior to my departure from here (Okinawa, Japan) so I have an address for the military to ship all of my household goods to.

So I took action prior to asking for help.My criteria was that I did not want to work with any mentor that asked for money up front.

When a tenant has a move-out date, we do a walk-through inspection about two weeks prior to make sure everything is still on schedule. 

We always collect these ourselves, but we also have a condition in our APS requiring contracts for service, leases, estoppels, etc. in the possession of the Vendor to be provided to us no late than X-days prior to Close.

If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if Borrower is not a natural person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument.

It is not unreasonable to ask for a signed PSA prior to requesting a tenant open his home for a third party inspection.  

One runs the risk of being a trespasser and/or spending money to improve or secure that cannot be recouped if the prior homeowner shows up to reclaim the property during the statutory "barment" period.  

My primary job is commercial manager and prior project analyst for a multi-family/commercial company.
