I much prefer selecting the most qualified candidate, not necessarily the most speedy.In your situation, I would apprise both prospective tenants that you have received several calls of interest and have arranged to show the property through the weekend.

@Chris M. this post was from Dec 5 and I didn't receive any responses until today :-).  

The PD may not give that to you, it may require an administrative action my their government body to give such agreements, if the don't I'd still not worry about it. 

When I've bought houses in the past, I selected and paid an inspector and received the report.  

My husband and I are buying our second duplex (first was house-hack style) and we are having a hard time finding a good home insurance agent.Our current agent tells us that we cannot receive a HO policy until we have a signed lease with a tenant.  

The terms are negotiated between the lender and the borrower, the borrower can not be "Disqualified Person" and disqualified person can not receive any direct or indirect benefit as a result of such transaction. 

I received an original appraisal for 95K on prop I payed 72900 on, so I was excited about the deal. 2 weeks later I received another appraisal from the same company, dated the same as the original, but now for...you guessed it, 72900.

. ($100k investment would get 10% ownership on a $1M deal)- Cashflows: Investors receive up to 12% annual return on their investment paid monthly.

I've received multiple different answers as a new investor.

I find this "counsel" I received pretty unbelievable, as I'm pretty sure Uncle Sam won't stop you from making this kind of return had you bought Netflix stock with your IRA years ago and made that kind of return.
