Again, this is my first loan application, so I don't know what are some standard charges vs extra. 

If its on the list you just fill out an application to purchase, wait until you get a price quote by email (1 to 4 months), and mail in the money.   

They have seen the unit and have expressed interest moving forward with the application.

Your tenant in not identifying themselves as having or wanting a service dog when being screened was dishonest in their rental application.

This practice of renting by the room is very common in college towns; you can probably get some good ideas from the websites of these type of rentals, including rules, applications, & leases.  

With a few exceptions that I do not believe will be applicable here. 

So let us break it down:- Ready to rent - is the date when you can depreciate your assets- Anything you pay for has to be tracked either in excel, paper and pencil or a software such as QuickBoooks. 

So, again, I have a hard time believing I'll get something under contract by offering the 70% rule.Do you guys still find the 70% rule applicable?

Specific software system?

I'm curious if anyone has experience using a Virtual Assistant to manage your books via Quick Books or some other accounting software?
