No copy and paste nonsense but I hope that's not what you're referring to as a "welcome troll."

If it is dead at the rent point you reference than so is initial positive cash flow.  

The other option would be going to local investor meetups and asking those who attend for good references. 

I like RentSpree because the prospective tenant can upload all of their docs into the system and the system auto-emails all references to confirm.

You’re chasing the wrong people.You can’t just use a checklist like “tall grass” and assume that means someone is motivated.The sensible solution to foreclosure is indeed to sell, but the emotional response for someone in foreclosure is to find a way to keep their house, not sell it.And what are all the "experts" teaching?

I have a Detroit banker I can refer you to if you're still interested.

It sounds like @Amy Wan can reference the crowd funding options but explain the limitations on cost and scalability.

Please let us know if you find a solution! 

Please stop referring the rules and regs as a loophole.

They are however good at 20-25% down commercial portfolio loans if you need a creative solution so it depends on what your intended use is, your preference is, are you trying to get maximum leverage aka lowest down payment or is rate or cost your main preference?
