Now with a blank canvas I got my contractors together and painted the picture.

This picture is termites.

Instead of taking my comment and turning it into a "red flag", consider the overall picture.

This kind of data gives us a more concrete picture of the situation.Questions for discussion:- Renters: Has your landlord mentioned any of these factors when raising rent?

In the ideal scenario, we picture keeping the property as a cash flowing asset forever and letting our kids deal with it after we die.BUT, if that doesn't happen, and we decide to sell in 7 years or 10 years, I'm going to kick myself for losing out on the capital gains tax exclusion of $500k.  

Your low credit score isn't something a credit committee who knows the full picture cares as much about.

The floors I see in that last picture especially look fine to me as-is for a student rental.

Why don't you post the details of your deal, pictures and location?

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Without seeing pictures of the place, it's hard to say for sure.
