The underwriters can choose to approve or disapprove.

Have you ever sent anyone a contract with a price ready for them to sign if they choose to.

If it were me, once I had my financing strategies in order, I'd look for a realtor that is also a proven investor themselves and understands numbers and all financing options....people I recommend in our market are Marcus Auerbach, Homestead Realty, Premier Point Realty & Modern Milwaukey Realty all brokers who are also successful local investors.....as it pertains to real estate investing, having a realtor that is skilled in investing is the same as choosing an accountant because if you're going to be involved in real estate, you definitely should have an accountant who specializes in real estate investing and not just landlord investing--ALL aspects of investing from rentals, flipping, self directed/SoloK, structuring etc---they should love real estate as much as you:) I was just involved in a deal on a Cudahy duplex house hack where the investor used FHA financing from Lower.com and I was quite impressed with them.

For example, I've seen terms requiring you to sell the property through the turnkey at a very high commission rate.You must have the right to choose the property manager.

This forum is an excellent place that I am trying to take more advantage of.Just be cautious of the mastermind/networking group you choose. 

You may not want to give free labor forever, so will want to know how that property performs if you choose to hire out the work.When looking at 5+ units in multifamily, management fees should always be included in the NOI calculation. 

Thus by the commonly understood sense of the word you cannot steal title to my property by forging my signature on a deed and I won't hold my breath waiting for someone to come up with a convincing rebuttal.I don't consider myself hung up on terminology but I do, not to be trite, strive to say what I mean and mean what I say.My opinion on the possibility and effect of home title theft, deed theft or whatever you choose to call is based on experience and not internet stories. 

Florida has a lot going for it - especially post-COVID when people can choose to live near water and nice weather without leaving their jobs.

Honestly, I don't think I would ever choose or exclude an investment because of utilities.

I would suggest deciding what your criteria would be in property and choose a few markets that fit that description then start talking to locals from there.
