If your loan officer can answer those items thoroughly without having to go research the answers then you will have a good lender at your disposal. 

Researching what it costs to build out medium finished 2000 sq ft property.

If your researching a new market what is a good way to get information on the area (Call PM - Ask them what 2/1 3/1 Rent For, Vacancies, Are fees based on Rent or Flat Fee, Etc).4.Reply below and I'll add it to my List, I meet with him next week so I'll give a run down on what we discuss and notes.Thanks,

All of which is factual data you can research, which is the basis for my statements to my clients and on biggerpockets. 

@Wendy Schultz Appreciate the input, I've been doing some online research with the city of Phx so hopefully I'll get it right.

Just from that aspect I can see why taking repairs is more beneficial.This provoked me to do a little more research.  

I did deed research and found that it has a affidavit of heirency (was inherited by child of deceased father) and a tax lien contract (county tax lien was sold to a tax lien loan company and the owner now has a payment contract with the loan company).Would appreciate any insights from your experience of such deals.My main question is, how might I go about having an LLC or trust purchase the the tax lien contract  so that the property remains encumbered after the property is deeded to my land trust. 

Some counties will only list the pin number, billable owner, and/or parcel number of a property and you are left to research individually each record to ascertain the property address or land use.

I have been researching on loan types that fit my financial state and found that the FHA 203B or the FHA 203k are my best fit.

I am still deep in the research phase of real estate investment and would love some guidance on what path to take.
