Ultimately it is an appraiser you need to sell, not me or your LO, and as always with sales good products are easier to sell. 

@David Camacho@Mike Nuss and the RareBird team put out a product second to none.

They are niche lenders that have products for the RE Investor.1, 3, 6-month seasoning.

A quality product that is a good value. 

Talking to a more local lender that can do that would be the best bet though since it is not a standard loan product, I believe. 

Is it the best use of your time to find, order and deliver materials, or would you be more productive letting the pro do what he does, and you spend the time finding your next deal!?  

I send a text I get an answer, I can pick up the phone and call he answers.I don't have any specific questions to ask but communication is key and a broker with a lot of relationships at different banks so they have access to a wide range of products.

The county will very likely throw its hand in the air and if like most counties, will claim it disclaimed any and all liability on its website and that the information is provided to the public for tax information only and not for reliance by real estate investors.

I was also just at First Republic Bank and I think that they have a similar offering, but I have not sampled their product. 

Other than that the products will be identical.
