It's been interesting, because lately a number of people have had this exact problem and we've been discussing it on this forum and personally with others we know. 

The title company says it would need a satisfactory quiet title action and a couple of other factors that would be part of the QTA.I certainly can't be the first person to attempt to clear a title in New York and would love to get input from someone who has done so.Thanks in advance...

(you may already have this available)17) Smart lock install (helps owner and your company to be more efficient and secure)18) Rent guarantee programs (requires agreement with service provider - I'm personally not a fan of these, but they are available on the market) There are others, of course, but these are "up and coming" types of additional services PMs can offer to owners.

Maximum 10 total properties (not 10 financed properties like fannie/freddie 1-4 unit properties, so even if the properties are free and clear it counts against this 10 "properties," whether there is debt/liens against them or not)You can use 1 year tax returns for self employment and 1 year tax returns for rental property income calculations as well which is huge for BP folks since most of us are rental property investors and self employed/S-corp/schedule C personal tax returns@Matthew Kwan @Carlos Valencia @Joe Homs
