@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

Consider house hacking when rates and prices are a little more balanced with reality.I would prefer a duplex/triplex but I know getting into a single family home and renting out the rooms is more accessible .

Or if you prefer one deposit account bam!

Replacing a bathtub with a shower can make narrow bathrooms feel larger and more modern.That said, consider keeping at least one bathtub in the building for market appeal, as families with small children or certain renters may prefer it.

(We are working on a generalized survey to collect info on our buyers/potential buyers so we can make sure we understand who our customers are while trying to dial in their preferences and patterns.)You are doing great things. 

., preferably with a great outdoor space.

Ken, I would prefer to do that, but I wasn't sure if any banks would offer that type of loan or line of credit.

I'm new the notes world and frankly the 3-year locked in PPR preferred return of 12% seems almost too good to be true if they in 16 years have never missed a payment or failed to repay principal.

I would have preferred a smaller 50K to begin with. 

I have a included a link to a PM locator tool ready to go with recommendations in your preferred area.
