They want a deal that works for them if your loan fails so they have to be comfortable with the market value of the properties, which is why they're able to do a rough assessment when considering what to bring into their portfolio.

I want to maximize my time and money the best way I can, but mostly I just want an opportunity to help property owners like myself earn more and worry less.

With my first property I was very stressed out, but I just pushed forward past that discomfort and now four years later and six properties, I'm pretty comfortable with it.
