Usually, to wholesale you need an inventory and most of the inventory can't be retailed for one reason or another, but there are unique circumstances.This market is not only limited but owned and purchased by more sophisticated investors.

I can only speak to Colorado law, but I do not believe it to be unique.

Every state has unique laws.

It's a pretty expensive area to jump in to, and those buildings come with some unique maintenance concerns.

Our units with unique colors are the most popular, color can be a way to differentiate yourself.

(2) Acquisition/Negotiation strategies are unique to the market you're investing in. 

It is a great city and has a unique place in American culture (of course, the same could have been said of Detroit). 

So, yes George, If I don't know of sales comps for a residence, unless it is so unique and there are cash buyers expected to buy, I stop right there, there is no reason to get tied up in a property that can't be appraised under open market conditions as financing is highly unlikely, that's how you'd get stuck flipping and turn into a landlord.You never make an adjustment to a subject property, the approach is to adjust the comps to be more like the subject, as close as you can, as you'll never have identical properties.Again, $/SF will show in the market with residential.

I do ask for a DOB on their application, driver's license, SS#, along with a bunch of other info, emergency contacts, vehicle information, pet information, employer, previous landlords etc etc etc...Then later on we execute a lease.Recently I have been toying with the idea of adding a clause into my lease agreement, to incorporates the actual application into the lease. 

Then ask him what docs he would need for the commercial loan.If you package the deal up for him, he'll have much less time involved and negotiate that fee.But, no loan is a slam dunk with a church involved, horrible risk issues, so his time may be in searching for a lender, you don't want that.Church loans are unique, revenues are unreliable in small churches, no one wants the PR of kicking people out of a church and foreclosing.Google Church Loan Broker and see what you get, there are brokers who specialize in church properties as well as non-profits, which are also unique.
