The reason it needs to be documented is because the bank is going to want to see the payment to calculate your DTI correctly.

It is absolutely what everyone says to start with but I also see the difficulties.

Ouch, did you see the interior pictures?

Let's see the numbers and what do we have to work with as far as a down payment or what did you have in mind?

I learned in 2006-2008 that when I see the whole crowd going in the same direction, I need to stop and head in the other direction.

Being involved in the community, on the HOA board, and living here, my hope is that I can market myself as someone that has an obvious incentive to see the community do well.

I was informed that the seller would not allow me to see the property until I acquired a Proof Of Funds or a Pre approval ( which as far as I knew pre approval was a residential real estate thing).

That's why I thought possibly good for a flip (would have to see the other numbers on it, just a thought right now).

I see the pics and wonder "who's that new guy?"

Problem is I didn't include a contingency to see the existing lease, and now am coming to realize this could be a potential problem.The bank just got me back the signed docs that I am to forward to my lender so they can start the process of getting appraisal/approval for the loan.I told the agent I will need to see a copy of the existing lease.
