My question:  Is there a service that I can engage that will automatically deduct funds from his account and deposit to mine. 

Obviously you could use the services of a local broker, look for similar properties listed with brokers and call them.

And thank you for your service.

After about the fifth one I got to the point where I realized I'm just watching opportunity pass me by by not having my real estate license... so I decided to create another exit strategy and get my real estate license (I'm taking the test this Friday 6/22/18).Which brings me to the point of this post; do you know any principal brokers in the greater Portland area that support brokers doing what I'm doing?

- What are the steps after seller has signed the document (via DocuSign or whatever service you use) - do you go to title company and open escrow?

A local lender recommended Carrington Mortgage Services. 

We offer realtor services in addition to property management. 

I intend to take the proper steps to have a professional find the source of the mold, test it, and have the mold remediated.

New phone app is currently being tested.

Certanily, I could call customer service and ask, but that's what I did before opening the U.S.
