I did reach out to Cozy and their response was more along the lines that once the tenant initiated they would have to return the funds to tenants bank but advised that our individual lease agreement should speak to this as chances are the landlord would have to pursue legal channels to recover money justly owed. 

I lived in a C/D class neighborhood growing up and we were very poor.

Are you talking MF properties (multi-family ) or individual condos ?

The individual I am referring to contacted me via telephone, if that makes any difference.

I shake my head every time i see a listing with poor and/or too few photos.   

Our policy is agents are not allowed to show houses to anyone they haven't already met and texted us a picture ID of the individual.

Individually getting conventional loans or FHA loans (this is a viable option for us as we live in a duplex that is half owned by my partner) and hoping that if we do decide to incorporate at some point in the future and hope that due on sale doesn't bite us in rear. 

@Price KenneyYou want to connect with an accountant who is very familiar with taxation as it pertains to foreign investors.A couple things to consider.1) Depreciation calculated may be different if the ultimate owner is US or Foreign.2) Corporation tax rate decreases with the most recent tax reform made "blockers" more attractive.3) use of a blocker is favorable to many foreign investors as you are not required to file a US individual tax return and not required to disclose all other personal information to IRS.However, all the facts and circumstances should be addressed before preceding so please consult with a competent accountant.

Even with the rent thing out of the picture I’m still currently looking for an intelligent individual to learn from.
