@Alaska Wagoner, I'm a real estate attorney, broker, Realtor, and investor based in Orange County. 

Any solid commercial broker/agents present here in this forum?

Along the lines of David Greene’s advice I’ve been putting together what I hope to be a “Big 4” team and I’ve found as I ask for input on potential single family deals from a prospective property manager that the manager is a licensed real estate agent and interested in representing me as the buyer’s broker.

You will want to consider the transaction fees, annual fees, speed of processing, customer service and knowledge.

I know things cant be perfect, but some things I thought will be fixed:things i wanted fixed:flooring - is a bit dented on one of the units, living room - seems like they just did a quick flip, and floor tiles are not perfect and levelwasher dryer - no hookups and none present - wanted at least a hookup or one in one unitpipe diagram - this i believe should be a must, since i want to know where the pipes run behind the walls. documentation of the flip/fix so I have public records as the new owner on what they actually didrefrigerator/microwaves - this is a must, seller claims broker told me these will not be provided..Not sure what seasoned investors do usually at this point (probably they fix rehab things themselves).

Unless you have a note on your account of some kind, or you are tight with your bank, most banks won't allow non-customers to deposit checks to accounts they aren't on.I think your renter is doing this because they don't have the money before that date.

If you are sourcing the property from a broker, ask them to provide you with the 12 month trailing financial for that property so that you can verify and accurately estimate the expenses.

Plus my broker stated that since I am a healthcare worker she would use W-2 statement only to apply for the loan.

I would think that your broker would have some type of new agent training where you would learn this or certainly ask the questions.
