This is being done to assist in my investing. 

Then quit your job once that income is equal to or greater than your day job.You can likely do 2 deals your first year and you should always clear at least $20k on a small value flip, otherwise it is not worth the time, effort or risk, with the exception of doing worse than that on your first deal or two but gain experience and real world education (which holds its own value over actual monetary profits).

I appreciate you taking the time to assist and to provide this list of information to include.Purchase price: 249,900Down payment: 7,500Additional closing costs: 4,887Additional cash for improvements: ~1,000Current market value: 298,000 (this is Zillow estimate, haven't discussed with my realtor yet)Current loan balance: 235,227Current loan interest rate: 5.0%Monthly mortgage payment: 1,574Monthly average total costs (with utilities included as it is a furnished short-term rental): ~1900Monthly average rental income: 2241 (averaged over past six months, has ranged from 1423 to 2646)Monthly long-term rental potential (assuming no utilities or furniture): 1500-1600 (pretty much just the mortgage)

Good luck in whatever direction you go, and if I can ever be of assistance to you in any way let me know.

Thanks in advance for any assistance! 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! 

But one time my banker's assistance goofed and thought it was the payment amount we wanted to be a round number, so we ended up setting the payment vs. the term. 

I am going to sit down with a potential investor (relative) about lending me some money to assist with a down payment on a great property I have in the pipeline.Looking for tips to help the conversation go smooth ?

The customer support is very hit or miss if you need assistance when you call or submit a claim ticket.

And part of that involves providing information and research about the property to demonstrate to the investor that it's a good investment.I'm just asking why not standardize on certain well known sources of data to assist in the research process.
