For an absentee landlord, it would seem that a condo could have less maintenance headaches than a SFH and lower risk in general. 

I am doing my best to accommodate and fix the insulation as well as see if there are programs in place to lower the cost. however i want to be firm with tenant as they are not compliant with paying rent because of the cost of the utilities.

For further context, we are trying to have him be the name on the loan because he would be able to utilize his first time home buyer loan to take advantage of the lowered offered interest rate.

When I asked them why they lowered it they stated cause they wanted to lower their exposure to the market.

I'd wait this one out until rates lower and you can refi and learn from it to buy better the next time around. 

The advantage, is that the buyer can wind up with a lower interest rate and instead of a 30 year loan, they have only the remaining number of years the original borrower hasn't yet paid down.3.

If they can't justify the charge immediately and specifically, then it's probably just a money grab.Remember: lower fees don't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

I will also admit at this point we are comparing apples to light bulbs since RentRedi was only costing me $59 per month and DoorLoop will cost $200+ per month and for those that have a lower unit count and only need basic services the RentRedi cost should outweigh the beta tech.

So, for a $2,500 rent with a 3x income rule, you’d expect their combined gross income to be $7,500/month.As for utilities being included in the rent, some landlords in NYC do lower the income requirement slightly (e.g., to 2.5x or 2.75x) since tenants won’t have additional out-of-pocket utility costs.

I went to every one of the 65 hearings myself and got 61 properties lower and 4 remaining the same.
