I find it easier to trust people who have a large public/online presence (active on BP, social media, etc).

If you just call on properties to the listing agent or for any agent on Zillow or Redfin, you aren't setting yourself up for success and if you don't have a dedicated buyer's agent of your own you are probably lacking the strong advice to make a decision like this so quickly.

@jason chaseWhat your lender is asking for is what we commonly call a "comfort letter".It is a checkbox on their list, and will be scrutinized with the attempt to shift liability to the accounting firm that wrote it should the loan go south and the lender cannot collect from the lendee.The AICPA as well as errors & omissions insurers strongly discourage tax and accounting firms from writing these letters. 

It's probably better to list it on the high side and lower it if the response is not strong.

Will the economy be strong enough for banks to lend out their money? 

Regardless of the property, we market it to reflect the desired tenant and the response indicated that there are a lot of strong prospects who simply can't find housing in a high demand/vulgarly low market.Just is...

@Patricia Steiner - I also strongly agree with your assessment. 

** It's worth saying, I strongly believe in and support Fair Housing regulations and what they stand for.

I have great credit, a strong relationship with a lender, experience with home building and remodeling, and a strong desire to build a large portfolio.

If your credit is strong, then you will have options to BRRR this with a lease-to-buy.
