Quote from @Omari Atkins: Is it worth it? 

And right now, homeowners across the country are sitting on record amounts of it.Here’s a look at how that equity could be a game changer for you, and why it’ll flip your perspective from “Why would I move right now?”

Can anyone recommend some companies with a track record like Praxis?

Sometimes it may just be that the seller thinks its worth more than it is and refuses to come down on the price.

Children won't have a credit/criminal history, rent records, etc.My application fee is non-refundable.

It was worth it to just separate out every listing on its own, but if the price keeps going up, we will have to reassess.

You can find the most recent sales price for the property on the local tax records website or by doing a quick search on Zillow.

It's worth mentioning I also require tenants to have their own renters insurance policy with at least 100k minimum liability.

If this is about a fence a foot over the property line, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze..

If you pay two years' worth of property taxes in 2025 (January and December), both payments are deductible on your 2025 return, potentially reducing your taxable rental income significantly.
