Jason,Apologies if this seems a little harsh, but your perceptions are mostly incorrect.Yes, commercial properties do frequently require more capital than residential to acquire. 

This industry overloads and misuses terms so frequently....

I think it's a great way to provide value in a space where it is frequently lacking.

While we do occasionally refi a trustee sale buyer out of a recent purchase, short sales and REOs are a much more frequent transaction.For beginners, I suggest taking a real estate principles course.

As far as I know, title opinions are not used very frequently anymore for general purposes.

He's a frequent poster on this site.

I regularly move money out of that account so the balance is never very high anyway.There was one tenant who wrote NSF checks frequently and deposited them into that account.

If you have the money to do it go ahead, why not, I'm sure their is some insight in it but again I really feel like between google and Biggerpockets you will have everything you need but the courage,motivation, and the characteristics to be successful at REI    

Nationwide is correct though - if you can be there to show the house do so - if not - go over after every showing and make sure things are okay - just cuz someone is a realtor doesn't mean they are not scammers.Also - I would change the code frequently - after you give it out a few times changing it can't hurt - since you have easy access to the home do what you can you to protect your home but also make it easy to show.

Hopefully you can get something with a promo rate (I still get pretty frequent 0% advance offers) so you aren't paying a 4% fee and 20%+ interest on that money too.
