I'm not a paid endorser, btw, but I just think there's good value add and I just hired our contractor through their network so I've benefited from their services. 

@Ruth S.If you are the borrower typically your private money lender drafts the agreementsThe docs we use are standard except for the security instrument as that changes by state as some states are deed of trust and others are mortgages

Are they a pain to service compared to standard machines?

Later they started to charge for that service and at one property the costs for the excavation/lateral was $9,000.

-I'll ask my realtor...he indicated that he wanted me to use his marketing and or prop management services (1xmo rent). 

But remember bank appraisals are still typically low, so you probably have some wiggle room there.Can you add more equity into the property by fixing it up, or adding amenities that it does not already have?

Also if you arent a warning incase you see the taxes paid last year from a primary owner you may have to pay more as you wont have that deduction in property value. https://www.phila.gov/services/property-lots-housing/propert... 

Typically, this would be lenders or mortgagees so that they are notified in the event there is a lapse in coverage or a non-renewal.

One question I now have is the following: do states typically allow you a Schedule to deduct expenses like maintenance and repair, or is that just a federal thing? 

I would like to know if this is legit service.
