For some reason, I have the idea of putting together a detailed binder of my plan, markets I'm eyeing, different number projections and scenarios, etc. and understanding that binder backwards and forwards and pitching the plan to potential lenders.Is there some kind of 'checklist' of documents, figures, etc. that I can refer to in order to make sure I have everything on hand that I might need when addressing lenders' concerns and questions, in order to convince them on my plan?

Ok a little more details.

Also make sure everything is always in writing and very detailed so there are no questions if anything ends up in a dispute. 

Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated, I can send more details of the projects as well. 

@Arbi Boghoz - I just helped another investor with a rental just steps from MacDill, I will send you a PM and we can chat in more detail. 

There is more flexibility with down payments and certain items but they are not stupid people and the rates will be higher.

Just make sure you send the itemized list to the last known address showing where the funds went.

You want to be able to keep track of all details regarding your property and you can do that through the Fixed Asset Items List of QuickBooks. 

A large repair item. 

To be more detailed about out of state investments I would look in Dallas, Houston, Miami, Phoenix, Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago which is a northern location.
