If the OP is servicing the note himself (or, rather, his LLC is the servicer), wouldn't he need to send a notice of transfer of service?

I'm going to be using Cozy to have prospective tenants apply so that I can use their screening services.

I know it's area specific, but does $5K to re-do flooring for a 1,500 sq. ft. house seem reasonable? 

I can provide a turn-key service as well. 

In other words, the duplex I bought was $45k.A new roof, 2nd floor floors and kitchen ran me approximately $16k.When I go to refi, will the duplex now be valued at $60k+?

I'd also ask if they add on a service fee for when they make maintenance calls on your behalf to vendors.

If you are renting you can have the agent waive the rental commission in order to provide the services I agree with my colleagues a real estate agent is your best option in a moment like this.

For my tenants, I provide X service, which they can avail themselves of, or not.

The tax " penalty" will probably service the debt difference on two singles over a duplex and .you get better tenants.

I am sorry, but I feel this is truly a service to those who are desperate to not ruin credit or who can not manage costs of repairs etc etc....
