Other payment tool I have used is of course the cashier check which is solid but very slow. 

Learn and observe as much as you can about her and her pets before the 30-60 day mark and then decide if you want to have an vacate rental that will need rehab going into slow season or if she’s a decent enough tenant to renew her up to spring and at that point you can non renew if need be and have the unit ready for next summer.

The deep energy efficiency retrofits we've been performing on the older properties have not gone un-noticed at City hall.

I won’t get deep into it; I’ll just give a remedy to the heated discussion which will solve the problem legally.

This frees money to originate and package more loans.Servicers are in financial trouble they had to front the money for forbearances to investors, many are merging to save the ship.When a loan has been serviced for a while it can be sold for many reasons:1. doesn't fit the location of bulk of the loans they service 2. borrower is difficult, borrower changes insurance and doesn't comply, insurance goes unpaid or taxes, borrower slow pay, borrower changes title, borrower complains ...3. borrower files bankruptcy, borrower has insurance claims and doesn't complete the rehab, Servicers are not all the same.

Your rental property will be deep cleaned at least 3 times each month vs. whenever your long term tenants decide to clean.

What would you say is slowing you down the most?

I am very aware of how crazy the properties have been moving -though we are experiencing a slow down for vacation homes.

@Micah Smith To confirm some previously stated information, its getting to the winter season and that slows things down.

@Cole Britting yeah for 2 reasons. 1 construction has slowed down so qualified contractors are now more available. 2 sellers are hurting and there is a stronger appetite to take on a "less favorable offer" like the 203k loan!
