I also realize there are risks involved that may be too much for some investors.Jason

PM me if you'd like to talk about your goals or anything else involving real estate.

Being forward, this is my first post on Biggerpockets, and yes, I do work for Meridian, as our Key Accounts Manager.Biggerpockets has become a fantastic forum for investors, vendors and turnkey operators, so I thought I could use this stream to help clarify some of the concerns mentioned about programs like ours.For some context, I actually came to Meridian as an internet lead turned investor over 4 years ago and liked their business model so much, I came to work for them.The program we offer is actually a Rental Warranty, not a guarantee, which is a big difference.

Some college campuses have those services in-house and some Cities also have that as part of their housing programs.

Have any Milwaukee BP'ers had experience with the loan program offered for landlords by the city under the Targeted Neighborhood Investment Program (TIN)?

There are 3 plans:http://www.allisonjamesinc.com/our-programs/P154

Looking forward to getting involved.

It's money well spent.Of course, get a tax pro involved.

I absolutely support this program.

In my market, agents use software programs that let them write offers online and then they can have their clients sign them electronically (using two programs, Zipforms & DocuSign).
