Fairly typical is 1.75 pts. for a same day back-to-back transaction. 

Hey @Andy Gibson The upside is fairly obvious (i.e relavitvely immediate funding etc. etc.); the larger drawbacks of course are lost investment gains in the plan and potentially needing to repay the loan balance in full if circumstances change, among others.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Especially considering that you seem fairly open to having the work done and even working the long term tenants & PM to keep the property in good condition, there is no reason your PM shouldn't be taking you up on that. 

Charge fair market rent for first 30 days, double that for 2nd & 3rd month.

Is it more to protect me against fair housing? 

Thats a fair question, James!

In general, I price myself 10-15% high outside of my avg lead time, and discount fairly aggressively inside the lead time.This strategy attempts to capture both the planners who will pay a small premium to secure a good data ahead of time, and the last minute deal seekers.In general, it seems many people don’t vary between weekend and weekday pricing enough IMHO.2 ideas I’ve toyed with… in 2+ years I’ve never not booked a weekend.

A question I have been pondering within myself for some time and figured here would be a good place to get an answer.I currently own a home that has close to 100k in equity in it, we plan to move in 3-5 years to our long term house and would be sizing up a fair amount.So my question is should I use the equity to fund investments/projects, or should I save it and roll it all into my next house so I can have it paid off sooner/lower my monthly.

The two lenders I contacted through the "Find a Lender" option never called me back, so I am looking for a local and relatively small credit union or bank I can talk to about taking out a HELOC so I can invest fairly soon.Any recommendations?
