I am not sure if they service where you live but I am sure he can offer some advice. 

Some consumer sites have better search functions and are certainly improving their services on a regular bases.It all depends on what you are looking for.

Lenders are audited on a regular basis, and it's millions of dollars in fines if a lender turns appraisal fees into a profit center. 

To answer your question, I plan to make RE investing a part of my current portfolio for diversification purposes (other than my primary residence of course) and I'd ultimately like this to be a replacement an alternative to my regular work.

With a target customer segment in mind, then you set about developing a product or service that your customer is willing to pay for that consistently meets their needs better than the competition.When we bought our two SF rentals, I used that same approach.  

Trust me, we love regulars who do good work and are sane, so if you find an agent and are loyal to them, they will try to help you on every turn!

The criteria when I applied and received mine was some of the same factors as though I was applying for a regular mortgage, DTI, credit score/report, W2, paychecks etc.

Also if it's currently occupied then you can perhaps count 75-100% of the income towards making the debt service payments but check with lender because I'm no expert on this!

This suggests that they are going to hang on to the tradeline on the books and service it themselves.

I know several of the MFH in that part of Roseville have those 1950s oil burning furnaces, they are at their service life, so it dies it dies.Also, you will need to put in Central Air I would guess.I get $850 and $725 for my units.
