I was one of the first 100 customers (at least that is what they keep telling me).I haven't had many bad experiences with them outside of the usual growing pains in the beginning.I highly recommend it, and yes, I like the referral program they have.

Im looking for more sq footage for my growing family and have found the perfect home in the perfect area that will probably be priced just outside of my price range.

:superman: The home is in College Park, a popular downtown section of Orlando with a wide mix of building styles from mid-century bungalows to waterfront million $+ estate homes.Here are the details: 2bd / 1bath, 1150 square feet, Concrete block/brick, slanted roof, built in the mid-1950s.

Make no bones about it, this is being watched by other legislators (maybe from your state) and with the cumulative issues that exist in the real estate market/industry today (not to mention all the bashing in the media and growing public disdain), this could just take on a life of its own and spread like wild fire (to other state platforms)...Some of you might be reading this and say, "Scott's a lender and this is a self serving crusade from a self-important blowhard who sits at a table for one

Contrary to popular opinion, real estate does NOT always go up.

For example, a landlord can clean stoves and refrigerators all day long (popular items left unclean by tenants) but unless he paid a maid service, the magistrate won't let him subtract the expense from the deposit.It's in the lease usually that you can't screw the landlord and use the cleaning and security deposit for the last month's rent.

Plus an entity's purpose is to protect your personal assets from business liability (or to segregate business liabilities as you grow), so unless you have quite a bit in personal assets when you start out, an entity isn't even worth the hassle yet.
