When they added this requirement, that was one reason we decided to switch to using a much more reasonable and customer-focused custodial institution as the back-end for our programs. 

We have yet to schedule her move-out inspection (awaiting her date/time preference). 

Hi all.After listening to a BP podcast, I thought it would be interesting to look into deals where you buy a plot of land (that is already zoned) for cheap and build apartment complexes on it through syndication, followed by holding for cash flow (preferably).

After seeing the photos, that would have been my preferred course of action.

Great comments about marketing and customer reach, as well as the competitive forces working against a FSBO listing.

@Evan Pickvet-Hall Your agent might be referring to the fact that you might not be able to qualify for typical home mortgage programs as most lenders prefer SFRs to even 4 units (even though they are both classified as residential). 

They may prefer no window cover at all in a loft living room, depending on how high up the unit is, the area, and what's outside.

I am looking for a local tax accountant who specializes in real estate investing and preferably owns properties him/herself.

We would prefer to deal with a local private lender who understand this market (Washington DC) and can quickly determine if he or she wants to invest with us. 

I would prefer to have a home warranty in place over paying for the inspection...just peace of mind...even if home warranties are crap...which they kind of are...
