So, I was a little surprised to read that most say that I can refuse to give an application to someone.

It seems like the process would be slighly more difficult than nonchalantly changing one's mind whenever it's convenient for your motive.

It's a bit ironic - when we acquired these properties, we would have paid extra for the convenience factor of a turnkey investment package; we had to locate the buildings, purchase, rehab, and establish tenants and a working management solution ourselves.

If your credit/income is good, and your debts are low, and the issue is truly just "reserve cash", there are still a few 0% for-a-year credit card deals out there that frequently send out "convenience checks".

Madisyn, since you've been managing it for two years, there shouldn't be surprises with the building, tenants or expenses.

Interesting news, though I can't say I am surprised.

You'd be surprised at what little cash people will walk away from.

I personally think the odds of the SEC allowing non-accredited investors to engage in crowdfunding is slim to none, but the government is surprising me a lot these days.

It's a duplex with one side rented.At one point I thought I had seen a document to have filled out prior to closing and signed by the tenant and the previous landlord basically clarifying the lease, what they pay, how much deposit was put down and those types of details just to make sure there aren't any surprise or miscommunications later.

Wayne- it wouldn't surprise meI definitely should have been more proactive instead of waiting 24 hours for my realtor to handle it.
