u can not require in most states for tenants to do maintenance only to keep neat and tidyI offer a base rent -0 per cent above market and an early "on or before rent due date received" payment discounted rentNot a late feeIf you do NOT enlist in a mortgage qualification coaching service and leave the tenant to procrastinate on get loan pre qualified, in 30 years of doing lease options I see the tenant not being successful at getting a home loan

I'm wondering if it makes sense, since I'm the trustee of the estate, to try and mortgage the property, distribute the proceeds to my siblings then hold the property as a rental.

If i get approved for a Maryland Mortgage Program loan that covers 20% of my down payment, will i still have to pay for a private mortgage insurance? 

In other words, you will not have time to process your pre-approved mortgage through a lender (which will take 30-60 days)..

My mortgage payment was cut in half and I am presently bringing in 500.00 passive income. 

How are you all refinancing with a bank a a lower rate if you have other mortgages and you dti is maxed out by their models?

I don't want to be looking at the cheaper hotel rooms because that's only what we can afford.

With 20% of 600k my mortgage should be around $2600 leaving me with a $1400 cash flow. 

No different from the mortgage, insurance, taxes, etc  that you have to keep paying while the property is empty

I do have a team in place to handle almost all issues, including local family in worst case scenarios.You know, I am torn between investing in high price areas as opposed to cheaper inland areas.
