In New York it seems that anyone can just apply and you have to accept them.  

Section 8 requires that you accept a "median market rent" - which equated to 70% of true market. 

I'm wondering about liability and protections for Landlords accepting electronic transfers from tenants.

*Update*I have an accepted offer for this house with a close date of June 13 (fingers crosses).

So I offered him 30k cash for his new pool and he accepted.    

Is it acceptable to use personal credit line to fund a down payment on a single family rental on a conventional loan?

It's critical that you follow the rules.Another constraint would be whether the operator is accepting only accredited investors to the offering. 

when you purchase you can make it yours..... you can do updates.. change paint colors.. but, with a rental, you have to accept it and be able to live with it until the next step. 

Only problem is since its a non-payment eviction, he was able to pay all his dues and my court fees right on the spot, so i had to accept it seems.. so i will have to evict him another way, most likely a 30 day notice to quit so his lease gets terminated end of May, and he again doesnt pay file another eviction for may.Not a good experience overall, court filings, actions take weeks.

Social Media is an incredibly important piece of the marketing pie.
