I might pursue the tenant if they have solid employment. 

This is so abusive and extortionist in nature, and so disconnected from any sense of reality I'd really have to question the general intelligence of the persons presenting such. 

Thank you for any comments, questions or personal experiences with this situation.Anita

@Cody L.I agree with the sentiment personally but I have made some serious funds(to me anyway) with clients where this functionality was needed because of some stodgy entity involved (bank, govt office etc) whose policy would only allow them to receive or send information in person, by snail mail, or by fax.  

Make sure you have a solid team with a good broker that is honest with you and understands your niche you are buying in.

We made the mistake of thinking the person who charged less was the better option, however in the long run we spent more.

Don I have spoke at many of these events.. the one here in Oregon though I personally dont care for much.. they tend to bring in old retread type guys that are pitching systems that worked 25 years ago.. and I pretty much believe they are taking kick backs for the sales those guys are making..

I personally would stay away from Yardi, unfortunately their system is outdated and their customer service is sorely lacking. 

Personally, for SF rentals, I boosted each property's liability coverage to $500K and then had a $2M umbrella policy. 

I dont know of any private lender (generally meaning someone personally lending their own money) who is going to roll the dice on you for nearly the same yields that they can get by just buying fixed income securities.
