As we develop our Rent to Own program, it will serve as a way to streamline our processes.But, at the end of the day, I do not expect it to drive traffic to me. but I will drive traffic to it by becoming the Real Estate investment source of info among my sphere of influence.

We did an FHA streamline refinance, and the fees were much less and a great rate, even though the property was rented out, but not sure they are still doing it and also not sure if they would do it for only one of you, letting the other off the loan, but it might be worth it to check it out as if that is available to your mother, it would solve your problems easily.     

I am looking @ short sale and foreclosures, plan to go in with a 203K or streamline, but the numbers has to work.Good luck to you and see you around the site!!

I just want to be clear about the product you are using, if you use a typical 203k limited aka "streamline" designed for consumers on your "investment property" you cannot sell the home for 12 months at-least this is the rule set forth by FHA guidelines.

It's very similar to the FHA 203K streamline loan program in that it is limited to $35,000 total funds for the renovation and does not allow "major" projects.  

For future reference consider screening the tenant better to insure they are in the position to wait for a 30 day approval process and speak with your HOA to see if there is any way to streamline the process.

@Keith Reisinger-Kindle - that only applies to a streamline refi.  

Does anyone have any feedback regarding Appfolio or any other software that we might consider  for streamlining our rental processes.  

I can see this information one-at-a-time, say on Zillow, but what I'm looking for is a more streamlined approach where I can load many, perhaps even hundreds of homes into Excel in order to create averages.I'm hoping this will allow me the ability to see the potential or lack of potential for any home that comes on the market in my area.  

I want to even streamlined it more this way i could focus on some other counties as well.Here is my question did the choices I made were good to have an efficient list?
