I usually try to get opinions from two attorneys for State foreclosure laws and two realtors for CMA’s to ensure the investment has a reliable collateral on it to cover the investment with good returns.

This also apparently is a 'commercial loan' , with 20% down, 25 year loan, and ARM with refinancing every 5 years.I've been given data on income/expenses over the last 3 years for this particular unit, along with data from our lender.
