If you're in the feasibility stage, I would begin by requesting the financials for the last 24 months while you audit the rent roll.

Upon receiving your background information the board will either approve your application or request you appear in person to provide clarifying and mitigating information.  

They can request you make an accommodation but check with your state to see who foots the bill.

You can set up answering services to screen the calls or use software to push maintenance requests online.

To clarify the 'request for information' regarding my statement in all but one instance little to no actual effect - this was the one instance in which I could see a measurable effect, and I've since apologized.  

After that, I request tenant files (I look for credit screening, income, etc.), copies of any contracts the building owner has (like dumpster contract), copies of utilities statements for both summer and winter, YTD financials, and past two years financials.

Greetings BP community.I was requesting your expertise.

Just responding to your request.

If you advertise corporate housing and get requests but cannot help them because your property is rented, we pay BP members referral fees.

Our lender said the appraisal would include a request for the appraiser to do a Fair Market Rent (FMR) analysis of the property and we would be allowed to use 75% of the income as you mentioned above.The lender also mentioned the possibilities with a conventional loan (which of course would require more down) but we are being told that they will let you do the same thing as it relates to the rent on the duplex/triplex with the 75%, BUT they would also allow us to use a signed lease (plus proof of 1st month’s rent collected) to offset the payment on their current home that they will eventually be vacating.
