Quote from @Obed Calixte: There are a ton of free tenant applications online and through property management software companies such as turbotenant, rentspree, zillow etc.You will want your application to meet any state specific guidelines (if applicable). 

Now I found one that specializes in real estate investors that was recommended by an online mentor.

I do SMS, cold call, mail, online, wholesalers, etc.

There are also online platforms that will handle managing security deposit compliance, refunds, etc. like rentable.com

Look up the loan officer and not the company (do they have any online reviews or social media presence; if possible look up their production numbers to see if they are any good)4.
