Yes, you are held to a higher standard in a court of law.

This way, you'll get the quality of work and the ultimate desired results: marketable title to the standard of a (hopefully major) title company.

I could even see the selection of tenants from afar as being a great way of avoiding being accused of any breech of fair housing standards.

Just because it's a standard accounting function or you think, 'it's gotta be there', doesn't mean it will be. 

Another consideration is if lease rates are at market, above market, or below market.6% cap rate I believe the cap rate is much lower after standard underwriting is used.

As far as I know there are no federal laws involved other than standard RESPA stuff.

I would also not use that strategy of wanting a property up to your standards for you to live in or your loved ones There are buyers in every market that will have different taste, different income therefore might be willing to buy a property that you might not live in yourself.

There is no standard for comparison.

I am working on some questions for our call, but wanted to see if anyone has a standard list of questions I should consider asking.Thanks for your help.
