That's the only way to be sure.

I am not sure ... that is your call.Being experienced, as I see you are, using an MLS Flat Fee Listing company is by far the best alternative.

nothing pointed at you personally but there has been build to rent projects were investors had to put up 50k non refundable and never got their house built.. so I can see putting it in escrow and releasing it upon closing for sure.. thats what i personally do with my new builds although since we average 25 to 75k of upgrades per house buyers have to stroke non refundable checks directly to us for those items.

But I am willing to learn more about this business and get myself ready when it’s good time.

Shahaf,If you do decide to go ahead with the conversion, contact your insurance agent and make sure your current coverage for the 2 family will still write the 3 family.  

That will make it easier for renting the long-term rental for sure because you can advertise the base rent, which is comparable to market rent, and then state that utilities are included for the utility fee.

I'm not sure if Baselane has a limit but I have one account per building + security deposits so would need at least 10. - The ability to create online debit cards has helped a couple of times but I'd categorize this as a nice to have. - Free would be nice but if it's paid and has extra functionality I would consider. - Interest earning (not a ****** 0.2% either).

Syracuse NY for sure!

My hunch is that the seller won't want to carry a note and will go to the next highest offer, but obviously I don't know for sure.

Lessons learned?
