I look at debt and quality of tenant when I am searching for my clients.

@Luis Maza Just like there are quality contractors out there and those that are not, the same applies to wholesalers.

Ensure it cash flows comfortably.Market & Location: Research local rental demand, property values, and any applicable LTR regulations to understand the area’s potential for long-term success.Future Potential: Consider if the property could appreciate or attract quality tenants over time, supporting stable cash flow and asset growth.This checklist should set you up for a solid LTR investment!

Quote from @Emory Clayton: From what I can tell, and my personal experience, you will have to lower standards so the Section 8 applicants can qualify.I'm not a fan of Section 8 because they tend to be far more problematic than tenants that pay their own bills.

I am currently in a group of investors and everybody seems to be split on a system whether it is Flipster, propstream, smarter contact, the list goes on Want to find a system that is beneficial for quality lead generation, managment and campaigns.

Jumping in again to opine.. if you go with lvp, you need to use the more expensive higher quality stuff.

(Even if it feels like overkill now, the plan is to do a "lite version" of the system and build out later).Anyway, My question (for the crew here) is really  more about actual workflow.... i have my tools chosen, but despite what they all promise (efficiency) I feel like I'll be bounching from "use this to acquire a tenant", "use this to vet / quality / sign a tenant", "use this to communicate with a tenant"... 

The bottom floor is a permanent STR.At this point, living on the top floor of an STR no longer fits my life and while it has been somewhat profitable depending on the month, I can no longer handle the hassle of management and would be taking a loss if I used a standard airbnb property manager.

As a property manager, creating a standard that establishes the trifecta of benefits and tension is good.
