Hi all - My husband and I own 4 LTR and we just did our first MTR on my daughters house.

In previous transition times in history (the switch to steam, industrial revolution, electricity, Internet) humanity has adapted and new jobs were created.

If you do have prior history from this statement - "because of our past experiences and are comfortable examining properties that need help" - then that is what they will want data on.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Other reasons for denial involve other risk factors, such as, 1. rental history and prior landlord verification 2. credit score3. employment history and verification4. income v. rent ratioetc. 

Experience will matter to some of customers, so you'll have to be specific about your history and success. 

Or you get lucky and buy during the BEST appreciating markets in the history of real estate.
