Hi Tiffani, often new appliances that are "off brands" that you purchase come with a warranty and perform well plus they look new.  

Or would it be minus realty fees and closing costs as well?

You’ve done very well.  

Well, they are very efficient.

Several factors indicate the company is not that concerned about efficiency or ease of customer process: the website, a process that seemed to focus on one issue at a time instead of all issues at once, and consistently poor communications and lack of common sense from the loan analyst we were assigned.It started off very well with the initial point of contact, Austin Lornson, who did a fine job of explaining the general refinancing process, responding quickly and thoroughly to our questions.

If he's doing work in Pennsylvania and not complying with that statute, you may want to reach out to the PA Attorney General as well.

I would say that the value he brings is finding the deals, doing an initial diligence, having a local team set up for renovations/repairs/property management as well as knowledge of the neighborhood.

It can be done ethically, but you need safeguards to confirm mortgage & possibly property tax payments made on-time, as well as insurance with you protected.- Also, you need a legal way to take back the deed if buyer defaults!

Also, for the new move, if you don't know the city very well, I generally bias towards renting, at least for a few months.

I have a few friends who is very pro Ohio (Akron and Columbus specifically), but i ventured elsewhere.
