Hi Gavin,This is fairly common, and it’s great that you’re thinking ahead about how to handle utilities responsibly.

Plus, they all push you into using their tenant application systems, which are equally frustrating. ...I could maybe forgive these issues if I got tons of leads from these sites, but I don't get many leads at all (especially considering the prominence of a site like Zillow).    ...all I want is a simple, streamlined, fast, easy to use site that produces lots of quality tenant applications, why is that so hard?   

The push to have more than one CC if not I feel that they don't give 100% we accidently started with 2.

I think the most important part is a willingness to learn and succeed plus just knowing your goals and pushing forward towards them.Each market has its challenges and PDX area is no different. 

Milwaukee rents continue to go up, we are now the 3rd most competitive market in the US, ahead of NY and LA..

Also work with trusted lenders, look for reviews, etc .. since there are many unqualified loan officers pushing term sheets to get you to pay for an appraisal and switch the terms on you at the very last minute.

If you don't hold you accountable, if you don't push you, well, the worlds happy letting you be a bystander to life. 

They had been keeping the account a month ahead and one month, about 10 days after depositing, flagged it as fraud to get it back because they were short in cash.

If you can focus more on that, then the bottom line profit you will be light years ahead of most flippers. 

May more success be yours and thank you for pushing us to do more!
