These activities include shopping for mortgage, communication with lenders, going to open houses, doing comps for putting in an offer, analysing disclosures, and closing activities.

@Michael R. they only offer it because they collect more in fees than they pay out, most all protection/warranty/insurance is a slow bleed, just save an extra $5000 for your reserves and don't pay it to Zillow. 

We knew it was a great deal but with bad pictures and being in rough shape we made a quick offer slightly above list price, limited inspection and quick close and included a quick acceptance deadline so we others couldn't see the great deal we were seeing and they accepted!

I have made an offer on the new property.

We jump between 3-5 as pricing fluctuates.4 - Commercial Grade furniture - Wayfair (and many more) offer commercial grade options. 

One is offering to lend at a 10% rate for a term of 12 months 100% the cost of the project up to 75k.

Rent Roll13. property survey14. prelim title report (your broker can help with that)I DO NOT Ask or recommend my clients ask for tax returns, credit reports, bank statements - These fall into financial privacy protections and if my buyer walks from the deal, there is too much liability & risk with having that information if were to be leaked.If a third party management company has been managing it, you'll get basic information (income/expense, rent roll & leases, maintenance records, capex (maybe if they oversaw)).Owner operated properties will have less of this information as most mom/pop operators don't keep good records, in my experience.Don't worry about all this BEFORE the offer. 

That will help you get out of analysis paralysis.Hi Johnathan,I do have quite a few successful investors in my area that offer community support, I could reach out to them for some meetups.I appreciate your reply! 

Personally, I would say no to offering a rent decrease because of a leak.

I have experienced cash flow anywhere from 10-18% with so much more to offer.
