For my first deal I'd prioritize a simple entry or something with repairs I could learn to complete.

I'm trying to figure out a safety net.   

@Tony R Fox take care of any safety related concerns.

Many if not all foundations have cracks that pose no structural safety concerns.

This particular one was NOT with LA building and safety (thank goodness) so it went much faster and smoother, hence getting in and out in just under 6 months instead of probably 9+.I typically have been doing much higher end projects where the exit values are at or above $2M but this deal was brought to me by an agent friend whom I have know since I was 18.

Most parks I work with will only do something if there's an issue with a problem pet (such as safety and loose animals) and they're not listed on the lease. 

At the local level, factors like the quality of schools, neighborhood safety, access to amenities like parks, shopping and entertainment and a host of other variables come into play.Here are some guidelines to help you ask the right questions as you determine where to invest.Start with your GoalsAre you investing for the long term or trying to achieve a shorter-term boost in value?

It all comes down to what features you prioritize or whether you just want a general option that does it all.Many of them have free trials so you can try them out before committing fully. 

It was commercial mortgage, and they certainly prioritized my personal income and credit score in underwriting loan.  

@Hannah Espejo In answer to your question, yes, there are lenders out there who will loan solely against the subject property BUT those lenders are going to require some margin of safety in the event the asset will need to be repossessed and sold UNLESS you have an impeccable track record with them.
