It would be ideal if the current owner or his property mgr would handle this for you.I would also get a copy of the current lease for your records/review.You may want to discuss with a lawyer about what recourse you have with the seller.

Ideally we would like a conventional loan with a down payment of 5%.

Ideally I would want to be close to the first property I invest in because I think that would make for a better first experience and I think it’s safer but the properties in the Bay Area are just too expensive.

I know I am making a lot of assumptions/stereotypes but you have to look at your potential customers and be ready for worst case scenarios.

Also ideal for BRRR's.

I know where I want to buy the house the ideal location, and also the next area if the ideal doesn’t work out.I have also decided that I do want this to be a long-term rental for students in the college area and even for those in the medical center area.

Have a 4500 sq ft custom house under contract with 10 day DD.Seller is refusing to allow access for roofer, plumber electrician, pool inspector, etc.

What customer service programs do you have in place?

If you are having yours made custom, do you have a referral to purchase?

Has any Builder/GC here ever payed a "referral fee" to an architect for bringing you a custom home project?
