Maybe it's because everyone wants to be ITP, but it is a trend I've been noticing.

Net effect will be the same,  but you're freeing up a Fannie Mae "number of financed properties" slot every 7-8 years instead of every 20 years. 

You can just ask around to see if any local banks have their own in-house programs vs standard Fannie and Freddie. 

We are pet lovers and have a small dog and noticed it was very hard to find rentals ourselves that were pet friendly in our area (Manayunk/Roxborough).

April Zarling A Fannie or Freddie or fha loan usually wants 2 years at your current job but usually have asked me for only 1 or 2 pay stubs.

I'm sure there's much more to think about; fortunately I have a bit of time since my tenants kindly gave me plenty of notice!

IE pre lien notice in certified mail.. and filing of Lien within the statutory time limits  .we deal with it monthly frankly.. but of course we pay our subs and vendors.. and we do not do work for others.

Also you will notice from the forum  posts who will good to network with as well as find a local meet up and investment club run in you area.

He/She has a copy of any and all notices, past due notices, statements, etc..

I noticed that they quoted me a target interest rate of 5.25%.
