Premier, like my Quicken version- the Intuit website says it is for Investments and Rental Property but I'm interested in what others here use. 

@Deano Vulcano I agree with your intuition that it seems surprising that they don't run a credit check.If you sign up for a new cable TV service they're going to run your credit to make sure you pay your bills.

Which means my intuition of the seller going with someone else was correct.  

The below FHA thing makes zero intuitive sense when the departing residence is a 2-4 unit, but it is what it is.You can of course do a cash out refinance of your current primary residence to obtain down payment funds.

It makes sense intuitively that you could bring cash or a private investor to the refinance closing, but I'd say this is another reason why going with the non-FHA low down loan to start (American Dream Loan) and following it with an FHA loan a year later is the way to go.

Not sure what parents who are paying 50k  in tuition expect in off campus housing. 

@Caroline S.Mint App by Intuit 👍🏻

This includes our QuickBooks files, which we also store in Dropbox, though not encrypted.I'm not a fan of allowing Intuit to store what would be the only copy of our QuickBooks data on their cloud-based site.

If you're uncomfortable about someone, listen to your intuition.
