It would also put the driveways along the same road, so people would be more aware of both driveways increasing safety.

The new architectural/safety regulations that occurred during the previous ownership can be waived for the old owner but once the property is leased to a new establishment they have to comply to the current regulations.

Higher up come needs related to safety and security: health, employment, property, family stability.

This starts with having the guts to put in an offer for those properties that are appealing, coordinating inspections, approaching the seller with either fixes to safety related issues or a repair credit, and closing the deal when things come up that get you nervous. 

We drop the raw loan into the top of the Plinko board (the beginning of the information extraction) and after the loan hits a bunch of pegs like short seasoning or must be 25+ years fixed or ARM is okay, but keep the points low or crime statistics of the property's neighborhood or even the experience of the borrower and the loan finally gets to the bottom, we know where to send it. 

Co-op Commission Approved, List Price Approved by Short Sale Lender, A Buyer’s Premium of 5% or $2,500, whichever is greater, will be added to the Winning Bid, Financing may be Available, Property is sold as is, where is, An Earnest Money Deposit of 5% of the purchase price or $2,500, whichever is greater, is required along with Proof of Funds, Co-op commission subject to Short Sale Lender’s Arm’s Length Affidavit" 

@Mary Mitchell  I can't say for sure that there's not a lender out there that would be ok with that setup, but I know the lenders I work with will see who owns the LLC, and they want all leases to be arms length and market rent, so no renting to family either.

On day 2 of ownership approached a local bank who does 85/15 LTV with 25 Year amortizing 5/5 ARM loans about getting a mortgage on the property for the BRRR strategy.

The best case I’ve found are ARMs amortized over 30 years.I was wondering if anyone know lenders in the Texas area, more specifically Houston, that will do 30 year FRMs for non-owner occupied residenial props?

You do not need to close this deal formally through a title company...it's just a safety precaution.
