This creates a risk-free profit center for them, but no one here is a fan of the upfront fees.On the positive side, I believe their website is one of the best I’ve seen for a lender.

I have email auto-responders that provide info and links to our website, walk-thru videos and a short application form when someone makes an initial inquiry.

Go to local court website (or in person if necessary) and look up landlord-tenant docket.

@Paul TimminsThank you so much for the advice.It's greatly appreciated and so far this website has been extremely helpful for me.

Look into (and Google for) building science websites that will give you the whole scoop. 

You can also check local property management websites, they usually list current available listings with real market rates.

If so, page 15, Section 5.01 F. should directly address your question: http://ccatax.ci.cleveland.oh.us/taxforms/common/rreff1124.pdfIf you should be buying in some other local jurisdictions in NE Ohio, be aware of RITAOhio.com.Each of the above root websites has a menu that gives you the list of participating jurisdictions for each.

I am new to this amazing website, so please let me know if I need to post this in a different area.

Thanks, Savannah.I appreciate the offer and will definitely use it as I work my way through the information and calculators on the BP web site.
