The only issue was that the furnace was old but functional.

You should be able to find it through the search function just by typing in Roofstock.

HI team, Im looking for tool i can use to extract property information in different stats.Some of the functions im looking for are: Searching for specific property, finding the last sale of the property, owners name and phone number, size of the lot, number of bedrooms, year of construction, etc, etc. 

Depending on your loan type you may have issues when the appraiser reports 5 functioning units in what is only supposed to be a 3-unit building.

They function.

That is an important step-wise distinction in how the contracts would actually have to function.  

If I understand your question correctly, the first thing to determine is does he want to function as a bank or as some form of equity partner?

So you cant exactly buy a cheap distressed house that you can add allot of value to, but nothing stoping you from buying an ugly house that is functional but simply never been updated.

I guess I just don't really understand what it means and what it's function or reason for doing so is.

I just want to make sure it functions before I start transitioning everything over to it.
