Quote from @Carl Stieler: I am in the process of applying for a DSCR loan for a long term rental property through my Checkbook LLC.The loan company I am working with wants me to fill out an application form where all of the questions are targeted on my credit, my info for collateral and my personal real estate situation.

We moved away from our units, so we use a property manager now, but we did it quasi in-house and never charged an application fee. 

It's a confusing and slow jumble of bureaucratic red tape. 

@Kumar R.There is undeniably more red tape bureaucracy to deal with in Latin America than in the US.

But new mortgage applications remain frozen.

Did not see another spot to put application feedback.

Congrats on getting so close to moving in your first tenant that’s such an exciting milestone You’re right Maryland law doesn’t require you to put up window coverings but from experience it’s usually worth doing Tenants almost always want that extra bit of privacy and if you don’t provide it they’ll often put something up themselves which can mean nails tape or other things that end up damaging your walls or trim A simple clean set of blinds in the living room will still let in all that great light when they’re open and it saves you potential hassle later

Visiting the housing authority in person could be the only way to cut through the red tape.

Less red tape.

These are laminated, then taped inside the upper cabinet closest to the refrigerator so everyone knows exactly where to look for it in one of our rentals.
