Any additional mail costs $.50-$.76 depending on the size... so to prevent you from having hundreds of $.50 charges on your credit card, the default "reload" is $50 (you can set this to whatever you like in the app).Hope this helps....

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

There's a decent chance that if you have good credit and improve your DTI over the next year, you can put a Heloc on the property while it's still your primary to unlock some of that equity if needed.

No Bank, Credit Union or Portfolio lender wants to foreclose on any loan if there is a way not to.

(Available time, money, income, family situation, credit availability, time horizon, real estate market location and phase, medical situation, etc etc.)

On the flip side, if you've got a bunch of Section 8 tenants living in a building that's in a neighborhood where a lot of the tenant base has good jobs, high credit scores, and are generally reliable people, you've got the most risky tenants in that tenant base and that ain't what ya want.

@Ali Mol In a lease-to-own agreement, the $1,666 monthly credit should be treated as a liability (deferred credit) rather than rental income, as it is allocated toward the purchase price.

I would not credit for laundry, I would price in line with not having a laundry if other units do.

Maybe some credit challenges.

In the meantime, focus on building your credit, saving for a down payment, and soaking up as much knowledge as you can.
