as well, not getting something that is unique per se, but can be easily sold to another person or rented out quickly5.  

Revenue/price are <7% and once you subtract expenses you end up with cap rates in the 3-4% range.So I look around the surrounding regions.

Reasons are unique to our situation but regardless two policies so when shopping make your situation clear.

You can start by adding unique light fittings along with the furnishing options that will make the house look really good from inside and outside both.

We ended up calling in a favour for a bridge loan, the vendor Closed from the hospital and the bank eventually advanced the funds for the mortgage ... and, after an intense 1-hour meeting with the regional manager, they reimbursed the $2K we paid for the bridge funding.... so, things can go wrong ;-)

@Larry Russell I would look for smaller regional banks or credit unions for better seasoning expectations. 

Since your path was unique as you said, do you feel looking back that you got pulled or pushed into new ventures?

Search the entity as they will need to be in good standing to convey but also look for contingent liabilities as Adam mentioned.After conveyance of title you should be in the clear as any judgment after the sale usually can't touch you, unless there were issues unique to that property and there should be, a final clearance on title prior to filings to avoid last minute claims.I'd say the biggest issue will be from new construction or repairs being made to a property within the time frame allowed to file workman's and material liens.

Maybe two at national banks and two from local/ regional banks.
