No complaints at all.MathewHi Mathew - just checking how was your experience with them ?

It can be a separate checking or savings but just make sure to have a "holding" account where only security deposits are held for your sanity.I won't speak to liability since I'm not a property manager, attorney, etc. 

HI Anne, check out this gentleman: Dennis P.

Agents are also advising you to look for expensive mistakes (like checking the sewer which could cost 5-40k) and using their network and contacts to find homes off market or FSBO.  

I would check on this website on the find an agent feature or search Zillow for teams/agents in your area doing 25 or more deals a year.  

One of them told me they only have to provide 15 days notice, which doesn’t help if I am on vacation for a few weeks or haven’t checked my PO Box in a few weeks.

Check out Tower Credit Union as one option for 100% loan to value. 

The background check is supposed to identify the amount of risk, then you determine whether you can mitigate that risk or not.

We’d actually love to invest in Bergen County NJ, but the numbers just don’t seem to check out at the moment.Also, thanks for the reminder not to rush into something just to do a deal.
