Recently, I have taken the time to randomly drive around some of the areas, and have seen that some neighborhoods vary dramatically block by block ex. neighborhood east of the Delmar Loop.

I believe this varies state by state, but camera's are only allowed in common areas of rental properties such as halls, lobbies, mail room, etc. 

I'd check for Facebook groups/REI groups and see if you can network there, since prices vary a lot from state to state.  

Vary the amount to suit your situation.You may get a 12 month commitment or you may get the tenant's real intent.

The answer is it varies wildly and can not be predicted. 

Markets vary dramatically.

Hard money lenders vary but generally they lend based on down payment, ARV, LTV, ability to repay, 12 month terms, their BPO, points, payment, etc.You either need money, credit or a partner with money and/or credit. 

The schedules vary and its about 8-15 minutes.  

Interest rates vary depending on experience but typically range from 9 - 15%.

The required duration of consecutive current payments varies between lenders
