Hi,Looking for advice on how I can start to gather vacancy rates and avg rents charged for last 5-10 years at a very micro level (each unit in the area im looking at).  The type of units Im looking at are multi-family...

Veteran currently living in California looking to start investing out of state, probably in Texas (DFW area) which is where I'm from originally, in rentals for the long term.

You can always go to your bank and have them send a denial letter for the loan, saying that they will not lend you the money due to the property not appraising for the value originally applied for. they then have no case against you and also have to return your earnest money.
