Must Be Qualified To Sell
I tried to sell a rental property to an individual who was using Better Banks. Apparently it is policy to ask the seller for the sellers tax returns to see if the buyer is going to qualify to purchase the property. Even after being provided the traditional P&L, they still wanted information they weren't supposed to have. Very odd, beware!
