If they also do real estate sales, I would compare it to being a listing agent where an incoming offer will include proof of funds which could be a bank statement and private information.

Especially if you want some type of conventional loan product which right now is 12 months seasoning on a cash out refi.

If you had a turnkey apartment building with 5+ units the value is based on the income not comparable sales.

Me being a broker and specializing in acquisitions, if they are not self managing they trust me and use us for management after the sale.2.

Most listings (on MLS/redfin) have been groomed for the market (or at least their pics have been) and besides estate/relocation sales, are by flippers themselves!

Purchase price: $300,000 Sale price: $385,000 I bought this property my sophomore year of college.

Sales price appraised but the rent income did not meet the 1:1 requirement. 

It all boils down to finding a lender with a product that matches your investing strategy

Easier to show, typically would mean more showings, more buyers, higher sales prices.

I have recently come into a few deals that have made me aware of holes in my product offerings.
