(lender specific)The preapproval process should be a breeze if you have someone who focuses on these products and services.

Are there any industry-known services that negotiate for you?

@Suzanne NicholasAre you accredited or non accredited?

@Cam Freeman, I use Zillow for my listings, and use their full suite of services: application and background check through Zillow, use their form leases, and even collect rent through them.  

Hi there, not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm interested in starting a real state service business on the side (I have a full time job and rental properties), and recently came across a carpet/ flooring cleaning company in Austin TX that is in the market for sale, the owner started this business a few months ago and ran that for 3-4 months, the demand was solid for the start (revenue around $20k/month with one truck/van), he wanted to expand but got into family emergency issues and now he's selling the business, there are no financial statements as he says he's basically selling the assets (van, machines etc.).

In your case it's a non-starter with father and daughter.  

Light & Vent requirements (especially for the bedrooms), 7' clear ceiling height, eater service size, etc.

@Kay Moore depending on scope of services, fees can range between $7,500 to 20k.

Daily cleaning services?
