I know I'm bias, but our reviews speak volumes, 4.8 on trust advisors, you can't fake that!

They may use different methods to establish value based on market, conditions, and availability. 

I had a similar situation with established snow birds renting Dec 15 to March 31 for a price that had not been adjusted for over 5 years.

Trying to establish my team so any recommendations for realtors, contractors, lenders, etc will be appreciated! 

@Tom Fisher, this all sounds great, but couldn’t t you get the same results with a real estate tax advisor?

Of course, all of this should be discussed with your realtor, attorney, and tax advisor.

Typically when getting checkbook control you will have a higher establishment fee but less ongoing fees and delays when having to go through the custodian each time you need to perform a transaction.  

For the past 8 years, I've faced numerous struggles while trying to establish a new life on my own.

We only accept good funds (money order/cashier's check) for the initial payment, and then we do electronic once the relationship has been established.

With an established rental income on the existing property and more appealing cash flow the bank would find us more eligible for a loan at that time.
