You can use the power of leverage to secure another rental property, assuming the math works out for you.

However, possible real world positive implications would be using your wife's name/income to qualify for some of your mortgages increasing the number you can have, or boost your buying power on a mortgage you both cosign.

I just don't want it to hurt my purchasing power.

Many of these apartment vendors have regional buying power, use professional communication, and manage the subcontractors; so, it's a completely different business model, pricing and service level.  

I love the kitchen, so many people underestimate the power of a beautiful back splash!    

It's an affidavit that deals with a lost mortgage and that the current hold affirms they are the bona fide owner with power to satisfy the debt and that the debt is then satisfied.  

I would imagine that as an individual, you would probably need a limited power of attorney, then you could call the loss mitigation department (or whatever it is called) and discuss on behalf of the seller.

I am in the same boat and have been amazed at how helpful everyone has been. 

Make sure you have enough electrical power as well - gotta juice all those devices!

Under the 20-year power purchase agreement we have to pay SC for electricity usage at fixed rate per kWh escalating every year.
