One issue is the challenge of qualifying, as conventional loans will have DTI requirements, income requirements, loan size limits, and loan amount limits that investors looking to scale a portfolio run into as soon as the financial freedom snowball starts rolling.

If you’re just starting out that limits you in the size of investment.  

Tell me what you use, why you use it, the scale or size of your operation and what’s the most important feature that this CRM has that sets it apart from the competition?

We are in the season where we are getting some deer hunters coming up which is good because the big employers in this town have been cutting back so there aren't as many temp workers up here, which affects our occupancy levels.

Mainly some horror stories surrounding what you mentioned (not sending payments to a 3rd party, and then the lender activating due-on-sale).I'm definitely interested in DSCR since it I'm also a travel medical worker and have gaps in work history (will have another one in November), which could make traditional financing tricky (proof of employment). 

For a portfolio of that size, I'd want 10-15k in a savings account specifically for my rental portfolio, IE separate from your personal emergancy account.

15 years of investing in class B single family in Milwaukee with a medium size portfolio: 1 eviction and 3 cash for keys.I am on the board of the RPA Rental Property Association of Wisconsin and 2%-3% sounds about right to me for class C and D portfolios based on what I hear from our members.A good MF portfolio should have under 30% turnover rate, with SF you can get under 20%. 8% eviction seems very high in that context. 

People are usually in section 8 due to poverty and severe employment/income producing related problems.

I intend to start small, $3-5M deal size and work up.This would be an example of smaller deals for syndication.
