I just started using it and so far the owner info matches up with the county tax info. 

@Mitch Conrad I'm only thinking of escrow so the senior will have peace of mind that I'm not going to run off with the money. 

I've worked with some Canadians buying  here in Ohio.Indeed, rather than selling your stocks to fund investments (and lose out on any potential price appreciation and dividend payments, as well as incurring capital gains taxes), a nice alternative is to borrow against some percentage of the holdings.You would start with the brokerage where you hold the stocks and see what their loan program looks like for the account you hold. 

I don't have my CPA, and I want nothing to do with tax prep.

@David KanarekI don't think I have ever seen better investigative research than this.Hat's off to you and sorry for your troubles and everyone else's.Please don't investigate me haha

Quote from @Stacie Telles: Hello all, I inherited a duplex fully paid off.

It is in a perfect location (off the square) in a very popular tourist town outside Austin, Texas. 

Avoid basing it on uncontrollable factors like taxes or insurance.

Hence the lot on which the house resided was taxed at a 45% discount based on actual value, while the tennis lot was taxed at about 4 times what it should have been by value. 

You will need 6 months worth of the payment (including taxes, insurance, HOA) in liquid assets to show an underwriter.Now with doing a rental agreement, do I need to have tenants living in the home first or new prospects lined up before the underwriting?
