They said before we discuss anything in detail they want me to sign a non-disclosure agreement.Can anyone think of a reason why an investor wouldn't want to sign an NDA to find out more about a property?

Try  to make your messages more personalized, as suggested above.I believe this is a bug, and I'm going to connect with you  privately  to get more details so our developers can fix this.Thank you!

But please keep hunting down the details and please let me know if/when you find them.

I was curious if banks or loan companies would still consider this residential, since its technically has 5 units?

It sounds like your account is being sold to Renters Warehouse so technically your account will belong to them once the transition occurs so the terms of your agreement will be key in how you terminate.

Private message me for details about the deal if you're interested.

Also, by doing these recordings, you will force yourself to pay attention to every aspect and detail that might need attention, without really annoying the showing agent by slowing the viewing down too much.Lastly, go online and look for housing inspection check lists--there are dozens listed there, and then check for your local 'repair costs'. 

So technically, in this scenario where I am only looking to borrow $300K of private money, I would be able to pull out $450K to pay back the $300K I borrowed.

Can you share details on how you found the deal?

As a Fremont local, let me toss in a small bit of demographic detail on the "low separation/divorce rate" factor.
