I had hoped to set this up with PNC since I bank with them but an in-person visit to the branch is required for set up and this is not possible since I now live in Washington state.

I'm currently in a rent to own house we are moving out of and will be renovating and renting.

Colorado is a caveat emptor state/ buyer beware that means buyer must do their due diligence prior to purchasing.

If you own it outright, you’re in a strong position.

I previously owned rental property but sold them and am now looking to get back into real estate investing.

We now own the beat-up POS property that we need like a hole in the head.

Quote from @Andrew Newcomb: I'm really curious about buying out of state (or anywhere) wherever I can get the best ROI.

He owns 1031 Federal Exchange and is also a tax attorney. 

AAPL is another one  that is just a private organization that teach's folks how to lend their own money or others in states its legal and they have courses and info and a big convention etc and you get to say your certified AAPL lender ..

Over the many years I've owned this place, I've only once deducted minimally from the security deposit because a tenant left an extreme mess.
