It all boils down to who is the "end-user"  In most cases, the property management company is the end user, not the owner/Landlord. 

His lender claims they can do this by adding him as an authorized user to an account in good standing.

We have used Tenant Turner and currently use Rently.  

(with 4 “o”s) to BP for making it a non user friendly format.

typically as others have suggested the 3s and 4s do better for investments, but the 2s tend to be in better locations and command much higher rents per floor, they also get you much better tenants as it is easier to divide up parking and yards etc by 2 then by 3 or 4, also repairs, especially electrical are easier on a 2 as you can get to everything from the attic or basement. 

I LOVE the paid for properties...get rents raised first, if you can, use rents to pay for updates, if not, look at maybe a 50% LTV portfolio loan (talk to banks and find one that will loan against ALL the properties, 1 loan, 1 appraisal and closing etc. 

I simply want to demonstrate my will to develop contacts within this community in all forms of this forums users regardless of skill level.

I myself made the decision to sit on the sidelines for the time being but STILL VERY curious if any users can share their experience with the system and all of the hype?

The garage users have been advised that there is to be nothing in the garage spaces except cars.

My understanding is that in NC people use real estate attorneys rather than title companies.
