If you're doing cash for keys it's gotta be a counter vs your initial offer...

It also logs entries so if the pest guy bills me I can verify that he was indeed at the home and entered.Plus, codes can be easily added and deleted so it’s not always the same code.

@Sergio AguinagaFrom my Experience with Cozy for the late fee I managed it myself but the following link talks about automatic fees: https://cozy.co/blog/new-automatic-late-fees/also go here to find out more info/to verify: https://helpdocs.cozy.coYou will also want to have in writing that all fees will be paid first and then rent so if all the fees and rent are not paid then you can add another late fee and start eviction process depending on your lease and local laws.

You just need to find your own way to verify what you are being told.  

@Davinder Hans BP is a great place to get initial info but would definitely check with Zoning before purchasing anything.

I got pre approved with a lender that requires seasoning but since I already have gone through the initial hard credit inquiry I believe There Is a 3 month time frame when I can “shop” around for other lenders without triggering a secondary hard credit inquiry is this correct or does this vary through the lender as well?

my initial thought is to only cash out 50-60k to keep my loan to a minimum, and hopefully pay it off quicker. 

We just had a young lady claiming to be able to generate 350K in sales per month with targeted Facebook ads, no overhead, no US mailing address, no ability or desire to verify her claims, all with a degree in political science from the University of Michigan (supposedly), a Wix website, and an Instagram account full of duck-face selfies and inspirational sayings.
