I understand the crime concerns, but why do you think traditional financing is risky?

They'll expect electronic payment options.8) Understanding your local landlord-tenant laws, so you don't make a mistake or get taken advantage of by tenant.9) How will you handle maintenance issues?

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

I know it's not "set it and forget it" but I am not understanding how working in Pricelabs means more than just lowering prices or raising prices.

I've been doing some studying on short sales but still working to understand it better.

From my understanding, it might be more advantageous to refinance as a rental property at a lower LTV with income from two units, rather than as owner-occupied at a higher LTV with only one rental income considered.

Quote from @Max Martynenko: Thanks for your understanding and sense of humor!

Not questioning your judgement/assessment, just trying to understand the situation to best advise you. 

Is my understanding correct? 

I'm sorry, I don't understand this post.
