Hello,I am looking for a bit of advice as I prepare to buy my first investment property within the next 6-12 months.

Appraisers are often hard pressed to go beyond a mile from the subject unless there are special circumstances.

It's a specialized field and I'm no expert in this area but have some background and awareness of developmental planning issues.

Seller is moving out of state for studies/ job; the owner tried listing this with realtors with 2 different companies and they both asked the seller to be prepared to bring in substantial amount of money to closing and the owner is not willing and also probably does not have that kind of money.Where do you expect to make your fee, a one time assignment to sub-let the property or are you expecting a monthly over ride from payments?

Rod : you can also check out Sanja Bell on the post special need housing.

Specialized software might be useful if I had 25+ units.

I could see how Special needs housing would qualify for a public purpose but could low income SF Homes also qualify ?

We were told we cannot get the special lower down payment investor financing (think it's 10% down) with no PMI available for Homepath properties if we already have over 4 mortgages (total, not excluding primary), but we could still buy a Homepath home with a 25% investor loan with the stricter guidelines.

Once it is finished, he has to upload the web site (all the files which compose the site) to a computer that is specially configured to host the web site for the entire Internet.

If you have had a taste of s8 and like what you see then by all means dive in.Having a business like this could be a little intense because some of these people have some very real drama in their lives.If you aren't scared of some extra work and associated risk then be prepared financially.One little story for you.
