Does anyone have any advice on using conventional lender for investment properties, packaging all the properties up together in a portfolio, etc?

So just for the sake of confusion.As for the minutes, I refinanced several properties into a package earlier last year, and for the first time, the lender asked me for official minutes showing where decision was made to refinance and reasoning for the decision.

Micron has filed for the incentive package under the Chapter 313 program.

I just don't see these as a package doing well for the seller in the market that I am in.

In the Philadelphia area, 2+1 duplexes often sell for less than their 2+2 counterparts due to their smaller size and the lower rent potential of the 1-bedroom unit.

I am considering buying a package of 2 duplexes in a rural town, population of around 3,500, but stable over the last 10 years.

Regarding due diligence package, I would lookup here on BP everything you need, again depending on size of deal there is a lot to go through. 

I don't personally use the property calculators on BP as I have a more detailed analysis package purchased elsewhere.

If you were doing a refi with a commercial lender they might be able to package them into one loan and save you on some closing fees. 

The home inspector and the septic inspector will cost about $1300-$2k, depending on the packages I purchase.
