I really scaled up my number of doors the last couple of years and didn't bring any new processes to the table and it feels like a mess.

I feel like that sounds simple but in reality would hold up the leasing process for tenants that are not proactive. 

So talking with your Realtor on scenarios that truly are likely may help you speed up your search and offer process, and help you find a great spot.

Renting out one side can help offset your mortgage, which is a huge advantage while you're building financial stability.

@Grace Chee The process for this is time sensitive, you should have gotten a TRIM notice around late August, early September.

Keep an eye on those delinquency rates and ensure that the property manager is proactive in rent collection.Maintaining open lines of communication with property managers is also part of the process.

Ourcurrent approach involves identifying possible contact information for thelisted owners and calling multiple numbers, but this process is time-consumingand yields limited results.

If I were to finance at current rates at max LTV it would have huge negative cash flow.  

At certain times it could be a huge winner but there are plenty of other times where it is a huge loser as well. 

The process must be understood and applied to team building, investing your and 3rd party capital, and financial deal structure with debt and equity sources.
