This could affect the length of your credit accounts.

Does the relationship that I have with her affect the way in which we execute the deal; in other words, how does a transaction that is not arms-length affect the process?

Excuse the delay [and length] of my update; I responded to another thread with my initial review, but should have done it here.So far...Using its 'title information' and 'motivation %' searches, I found out just how motivated the seller of a property was prior to seeing it.  

http://www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficMASTER-Pewter-Fl...Here is a link for an example transition strip easily installed with some metal snips to trim it to length and a hammer to nail the nails in with.

The only way to determine market value (and even that is a range - which is why appraisers call it an "opinion of [market] value") is to find similar properties in the same area that have sold recently, and where buyers and sellers were transacting freely (what they call an "arms length transaction"), and where the buyers was actually willing to plunk down their hard-earned cash to buy the properties at a certain price.

On single tenant NNN properties a 5,7,10 year fixed loan  with a 15,20,or 25 year amortization loan payment schedule is typical.The strength of a leases guarantee and length of it depends on what is in the lease.

Get some realtor in your office to represent you keep it an arm length transaction.

In my scoring this applicant would get less points because they have not held their current job for any length of time. 

@Carl Mccrory Hey Carl, Here's a quick summary of how we gather and process our data here at AirDNA Every day we ping five million rental listings around the world and look for any changes to the availability of every calendar day over the next yearWe record any changes to the calendar and record some key characteristics such as length of stay, booking lead time, property booking history, reviews, host response rates, and much more.Our proprietary algorithm analyzes every new set of unavailable calendar days to determine whether the dates are a reservation or blocked by the ownerWe then record each unique reservation and determine the value of each reservation using the rates that were available the day before the booking was made.How the algorithm works: In 2015, we were able to secure a dataset of over 30 million actual Airbnb reservations.

I'm interested in terms of length, ARM vs Fixed (type of ARM, if more frequent), and interest.
