@Scott Anderson-  If you are able to obtain a large  credit from seller - I would  recommend  using this to " buy down the  rate" ...if you have no credit to  work with - I would recommend  using a  0 fee / low loan fee  option  to close the loan  ( with the  premise that  refinancing will be an option in the next few yrs ) 

I was curious if anyone would recommend the National Notary Association's training package for this.

Demand is too high and supply too low!

He has already submitted an application through Zillow, and we have the contact number of his current home manager.Please let me know if it's still a good idea to ask the potential tenant for a recommendation letter from their current landlord, or if calling the manager would suffice.By the way, what should we do if the tenant has simply provided a friend’s number, and the friend pretends to be the landlord or property manager, or if he just make fake letter?

Would you recommend increasing the rent now knowing the taxes for this year will be approximately $600 ($50/month or $25 per tenant/month).

Any recommendations?
