One possible pitch to your 1st potential landlord (I'm sure it'll get shot down the first few times... it only takes one "yes" though):I'll pay $200/mo more than market rent.I'm paying double your standard security deposit. 

Many member's of BP and the Indianapolis Real Estate Community work very hard to maintain a standard of ethics, honesty & integrity.  

The investors/buyers prep the house to their standards.

Your contractor will need to draw up a scope of repairs and/or drawings for use of the loan $$, which should essentially be standard bidding process. 

They should have fairly standard forms that they use and not start from scratch. 

I think it's somewhat of an industry standard.

One is the standard 25% down on an investment property, the other is what looks to be a second home mortgage with 20% down.

Pretty standard deal.

Pa's are standard, what's there to review but the terms?

It was great to have him living in my first investment because I tend to screen my tenants to his standard.
