It's the free, convenient and has everything I need including Tenant screening, lease drafting and signing  and online rent payments

Little things I didn't realize at first: 1) on the one hand, mortgages are expensive (closing costs) PLUS you have to kick in a lot of escrow up front to cover insurance and taxes - this is a downside to the BRRRR strategy in my opinion2) on the other hand, when you have a mortgage, the company takes care of the insurance and tax payments each month via escrow, so you don't even have to think about it - on my personal residence I'm letting a small balance stay mortgaged out of convenience

It is also far more convenient and easy for me to show someone else.

And the model seems perfect on paper, and I'm okay overpaying a little for the convenience as long as the cash flow makes sense like this one.Should I do it?

I had not started reading it because it is not convenient to listen to it on Kindle PlugIn. 

I've been using it for about 4 years and have found it to be very safe, reliable and convenient.

If 5 days I understand the buyer wanting to keep it convenient if 30 days he HAS to put down EM that is too long to wait to see if he is telling the truth.

It is very convenient for the seller to try and convince you it's a money maker.
