i'm in hopedale MA. i use rentredi for tenant payments. no complaints, simple, i like it. a BANK that also offers rent collection seems over the top to me. i'd rather keep using my small local bank. i also don't keep security deposits because the laws in MA re: how they can be used are so insane that i'd rather just not deal with it. 

The reason for this is that there is outsized competition with your fellow landlord hosts, who are also pursuing nurses, and a shrinking demographic of traveling nurses (cost cutting, covid cuts, etc.)

.- When do the payments start and endThis is a little tricky for some real estate investors to understand.

For a house hack with a first time buyer most will use a fha loan which allows for a 3.5-5% down payment.

Every third-party GC is going to mark up 10% to 30% to make their cut.

You have no appreciation upside potential.I believe they haven’t missed a payment since they started in 2007 or 2008.

With Apartments.com I can automate rent payments, have the security deposit paid, and have tenants upload their proof of renter’s insurance.

Does the heloc still account for the down payment?

Hi Adam,Your lender should definitely know the down payment amount much prior to closing.

If lower then you'll need 10% down payment.
