How extensive was the work they did do?

You won't get the sale closed within a few weeks as short sales take a few months, but if he's qualified, and you stay on top of things, you will likely get enough extensions to see this thing through.

I noticed that the forms were quite extensive and a lot of them asks a bunch of questions pertaining to your business.

I have worked with both investors and people relocating to the area and have extensive knowledge not only of the area, but also what investors are looking for.

I used Reonomy to drive for dollars for about an hour/day in every midwest market I could find and built out extensive lists of target properties that fit with criteria.

Most rental properties will rent without extensive work being done.

It’s enough to pull your hair out. 

Most of us have extensive experience with STR's.

I was chatting with a company last week about a refi - they were about the same fees and .25% higher than a conventional mortgage for a cash out refi :) I thought that was pretty awesome since the conventional mortgage needs 2019, 2020 taxes, all the W-2s, 2021 extension... among other things...

The lessons that I learned throughout this process is to do extensive research on the location on where you want to buy and make sure that the realtor that you are working with know your criteria on what you looking for so that way the process can be smoothly.
