Simply signing and returning the form to us would more than validate a property I would believe.Mailing a form to them seems logical and doable.

Also adds more liability for my actions since the logic is since I am licensed I should know better etc etc.

My original point is that this is. . .well, perhaps as a copywriter might say, false logic.

This seems like such a logical thing to do before bidding on a property.

I just wanted to make sure my own logic matched the rest of BP's.

The ability to pay is now a requirement pretty much in all lending, otherwise it can become predatory, what is considered predatory is not always logical and assumptions should not be made.

I know logic and convention fly out the window with REOs and short sales but it still boils down to a numbers game and a bank isn't going to take a lower offer just because the agent will make less money.

We didn’t like those markets mostly due to the crime index being well over 500 in each location and relatively low appreciation over the last 20 years.We came down to Killeen, Phoenix, and Boise as (for right now) our top 3 markets based on a variety of stats but mainly population growth, household income, and home value growth.Our next step is now reaching out to agents in those locations and running analysis on a variety of multi family properties in those locations to try to find a good deal to start making offers.Would love to hear your opinion if those are good logical next steps and any ideas/thought you may have here.Our goal is to purchase our first rental property in this quarter (Q4 of 2021)!

Does this seem logical or is there a simpler way to go about this.

If it is as good a deal as you think it is, let logic take the wheel and invest.
