For example, if you had bought some RE with HELOC funds a couple years ago and now have to service that debt at twice the rate, that could be really painful. 

I'd like to get one for giving a tenant 10 day notice of lease violation (like non-payment of rent or moving in an unauthorized tenant, etc) where the tenant can stay if they correct the problem within 10 days.  

-- You will not find this level of service with a regular bank or credit union. 

Local amenities abound and the property is serviced by a newly refurbished power cord connecting it to the ceiling.

Side note, if you will be financing a condo that allows short term rentals, you will most likely need to obtain non-warrantable condo financing, not conventional.

I have not received any official notification from anyone, yet and the tenant is non-communicative.

I have also used apartments.com (for some of my SFH), I prefer zillow. e-renter.com does a good job if you just want the background check and none of the other services.

Congratulations on your upcoming retirement and thank you for your service!

Are they a pain to service compared to standard machines?
