Sorry to turn this into a commercial, but I'm a fan. 

It's easy to use, they have all the pieces you need in one place, they have background checks, and their support is actually ... supportive.

Have you looked in to reddit.com/r/RealEstateTechnology ?

I too am a #proptech enthusiest and am a mod there.

A couple months ago I purchased a couple homes in Maryland into a trust using private money, which I recorded as debt in each transaction.

Now, I want to refinance each property to simply replace each loan with conventional financing.

My credit is good, I have sufficient rental and W2 income, etc.

So,

• Do I qualify for a conventional mortgage?
• If not, what are my options for qualifying?
• Can I keep each property in the trust and get a conventional mortgage?

A non-profit in DC is interested in renting a row house in DC for their corporate housing.

• what is different about doing this than in renting to a person?
• what should I be aware of?
• what are lease terms to change?
• what are the positives and negatives of this?

I am looking at a 4-unit residential property in Washington DC.

With my above average (but not professional) background in property management and fixing properties, I want to do my own home inspection. I own all of the inspection tools, including an inspection camera.

To do this, I want a checklist to work from.

What inspection workbook do you recommend?

• The Property Inspection Workbook seems a bit dated
• Jay Hicks looks a bit . . . not put together well

Also, I am going to hire a roofer to give me their opinion.

How do you find deals in high-priced areas where the metrics (e.g. 1-2.5% rule) don't exist?

For example, in Washington, DC you can get a row homes for $500k but they surely won't rent for $5k/month.
