The unique thing about this platform is that you can actually search reviews from BP members and interact with them about their experience with that particular QI.

(And - full disclosure - I will be using a mail forwarding address also and only occasionally actually hosting meetings at that location... it's like a 'WeWork' space, I generally work from home and my managers are on-site at the parks...)To everyone's continued success, and due diligence,-jl-

I’m not sure what is the best option here, if anyone could shed some wisdom that would be immensely appreciated. 

I'm happy to discuss it further with you (I have appointments this morning, but will be back after lunch) and there are a ton of options now.

What was the quality like compared to local options?

They don't allow auto payments or automatically add late fees, and tenants would have the option to pull their payment back, which is not ideal.

Focus on understanding the rental market, conducting thorough property inspections, and leveraging owner-occupied financing options like FHA loans.

Gas or electric would be a much better option, safety wise, from a house fire standpoint, CO danger, or danger to children or pets from the open flames. 

Exploring alternative options, I inquired about a property that was listed for rent.

They won't always be upfront about this with you but if know they're selling because they want to retire, that opens you up to different options vs if they're an investor just selling for profit.
