The appraisal tech source you speak of already exists - it's a human - it's just not being utilized as it could/should.

For a small multifamily Im sure most buyers want 3 years of financials, they want to know if the current rents are above or below market, what value add opportunities exist etc.

I'm considering renting my existing primary home for $1900-2000 per month which would cash flow around $700 per month. 

also this is where have great banking relationships come in at a commercial bank not a big box bank.we got a memo from our Bank saying these loans were available but you needed  1. existing banking relationship 2. existing loans with them 3. deposit relationship.. all three not just one or two.. 

Many tiny guys are shorting too however this set up existed pre coron.

I've seen them tear a house up in a short amount of time.In most cases, if there is an existing repair bond on a house, the bonding company will transfer the bond to the new owner at a low transfer fee or even free in some cases and that's what I usually recommend to my clients.   

@Russell John WalshThe International Property Maintenance Code which most cities follow for calculating occupant loads for existing buildings isMinimum 70 Square Feet for 1 personMinimum 50 square feet per person for more than 1In short you need 70-99 square feet for a maximum of one person.100 to 149 square feet you can have 2 people.If you have less than 70 square feet it’s not a bedroom.  

Edmond, Moore, Norman, Yukon, and Norman is a little harder to find, but they do exist there.Good luck!  

Easier to build than to renovate existing.

I'm brand new to biggerpockets but have heard of it's existence from George Gammon (real estate investor),and finally here to learn all I can and help bring a different perspective to the forum!
