To help save time, I plan to use Buildium, which should keep me organized and allow for online rent payments, tenant screenings, among other things.My brother lives in Cinci btw - nice city.

There are a lot of online sources for mortgage rates and terms.

Car buyers wanting to compare similar models need to visit several dealerships, so they need to be close to one another.On the other hand, an entrepreneur looking to set up a new hardware store, should look for an area under served by the competition or where new residential developments will be opening up.Speaking of ease-of-access, traffic patterns can also make a difference, especially near busy intersections.

Use an online payment service.

So make sure your tenants are storing anything flammable next to it!!

I am also emailing or calling the contacts of FSBO listings I find online or in the papers.

You can find a downloadable HUD1 online to fill out.

It was strange that everything was completely dark and no stores were open.

It was not even 1 second online, so I assume this was an automatic filter from craigslist because it usually takes 10-15 minutes until an an is visible to users.Somewhere I read that too many links in an ad can cause this - which might why the generic ads stay.

It's usually a bank statement, a letter from your bank or a screenshot from your online banking page.What you are talking about is a pre-qualification or pre-approval letter from a lender (regardless of what they call it), and is used when making financed offers on property.If you try making a cash offer using this fake "POF," you'll find that most of the time, the seller will disregard your offer or make you change it to financed.Now, to answer your question, if you make a financed offer, it shouldn't matter whether you change the lender in the middle of the process, so long as the original lender (the one that provided the "POF") is a viable option should the new lender not be able to provide the funds.The key is, you need to be able to follow through on whatever you're telling the seller -- if you tell the seller it's a cash deal, you need to be able to follow-through with cash (and prove you have it); in this case, if you're telling the seller you are approved for financing, you need to be able to follow-through by getting financing, regardless of who the lender is.
