Major lenders require this info up front.

On residential sales I see flood zones as a major concern, but on a rental property many investors I've talked to see this as an acceptable risk as normally the insurance would cover it the cost of any repairs.

So I'll first lay out the basics of the deal... and then pose my quandary..... that felt like an elegant sentence lol. 2 unit building near major medical/college campus'Last 5 sales on street for similar properties- 350k, 350k, 450k, 405k, 505kARV- we'll say 400kSeller Finance TermsTerm Length-5 years, with option to extend 2 more years at 2% higher, 1st yr int onlyPurchase- 235kDown Payment- 15kNeeds: 85k in rehab-mostly exterior and some cosmetic insideTenants currently pay $950(two bed 1 bath) and $740(two beds one bath)-- The owner doesn't use 3 bed rooms upstairs-- he used them for storage.

I've recently stumbled upon new tactics to find deals in the Buffalo Market.

Or as the majority member and the willing party to guarantee the refinance do some banks work with you on this?

My husband and I just purchased a home in December so we used the majority of our savings for down payment and closing costs.

The majority of us assume that we will live to an old age, but that is not always the the case. 

A major roadblock to this, however, seems to be health insurance. 

The fact that a lot of small time landlords own the majority of the stock is a problem and an opportunity at the same time - everyone wants to buy one (which drives prices up) and there are some sellers that don't know what they are doing. 

Majority just dnt know where to look to find deals or where to get leads.
