This happened because this part of the site let me login with my Google account, whereas the store made me set up a manual account.Now the store doesn't recognize that I'm a Pro member and won't let me download the lease agreement package that I need for California without paying another $99.

I have a 3 home package that I'm working in my market.

Alternatively they can purchase a portfolio of occupied homes at a discounted price because the seller of the portfolio in most instances first tried their hand at selling the homes individually to the owner occupant and after experiencing 13-15% in disposition fees and expenses realized its not worth the effort and better to package the assets and sell discounted to another investor.Keep in mind, most of these SFH's are in stagnant markets meaning limited appreciation and if you ever took the time to look at an amortization schedule  there's no meaningful principal paydown for many years.

It is the lender’s discretion as to whether the credit report should be supplemented with this information.Hope this helps.

If you play your cards right, you can have the permit submission package ready for submission the week after Closing.

They walked me through the exact same package.  

It's just packaged fancier and marketed in a way that makes it more compelling to folks who might not realize that people have been doing this for a very long time. 

I did the 7 day trial with Renatus and it's very organized information but it's very pricey for their premium package.

Not understanding that...The $41.45 is what's called a Resident Benefits Package, and is growing in popularity in our industry.

With some, these loans are also packaged off...So, yeah, only those "true portfolio" loans are being held by their lenders.
