Not trying to pull a fraud.

It takes a credit pull and a made up "123 main street" purchase loan to pose the question to LP, however.Further: Normally I disagree with the majority of my fellow lenders requiring a fresh credit pull every 3 months for a preapproval to remain valid.

I'd like to pull on a thread from your statement: "I'm currently seeking multifamily properties as I assume they offer more bang for the buck."

@Riad AliWith A cash out refinance you could pull out 75% of the equity on the property.

Where did you pull the comps from?

Taxes: Any marginally competent lender can teach you how to pull prop tax bill and calculate what your tax bill would be at any given purchase price in like 30 seconds.

The variables I think I need to consider are:1) use of metal vs flex duct2) type of unit installed and warranty3) will permits be pulled / work done by licensed professionalI want to save money but don't want to create headaches.

The tenant can pull up a truck and move desks and chairs in the middle of the night pretty easily and skip town.Medical office is a different animal.

Or, if you've got the time and inclination (and you can access the city/county/state records), you can pull up each individual address and see when it last sold and for how much.Since you have Redfin coverage there, you could also search each address on that street, and scroll down the page to the Property History.Having an agent run 'em though sounds way faster and easier (and you'll get subsidy information too).Good luck!

@Adam AndersonWith Fannie, for investment property transaction, you can have up to 10 financed properties, however if you have between 5 to 10 financed, you can only pull cash out on an investment property if you meet the Delayed Financing exception.With Freddie, for investment property transaction, you can have up to 6 financed properties, and you can cash out on all six without restriction.If your lender is telling you something different, then they have an overlay to the guidelines.Let me know if you have any further questions or if I can help out in any way.
