Happy to discuss this--DM me if you have questions!

Generally - seasoning concerns are at the very most 12 months - if bought over a year ago, nothing to really worry about with any lender re: seasoning

If you'd like, I'd be more than happy to discuss more in-depth.

My recommendation is to have a discussion with your father about setting up a plan. 

i'm in hopedale MA. i use rentredi for tenant payments. no complaints, simple, i like it. a BANK that also offers rent collection seems over the top to me. i'd rather keep using my small local bank. i also don't keep security deposits because the laws in MA re: how they can be used are so insane that i'd rather just not deal with it. 

I agree with the other reasons to buy RE right now. 

After noticing some discussions about an overload of Keyword Alert notifications, I wanted to highlight a site function that many users may not be aware of!

I don’t know what to look up or what to type when it comes to understanding how each city is doing when it comes to RE and/or what to look for. 

You might want to have a look at some other discussions we had here on BP regarding the BRRRR method in Spain.

I'll just re-emphasize that your planned improvements will add a lot of weight to the structure.
