Embarking on an adventurous journey of being a landlord and have some basic questions after listing on Zillow and went through this: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...1- On Zillow, if people inquire and we have a screening criteria in the listing, should I reply to each of them or just ask if they meet all the screening criteria and then schedule a tour?

Just to let everyone know...the broker who @Darrell Lagler was inquiring about is VERY experienced and one of the biggest volume rehab flippers in Las Vegas. 

You need to inquire with the commercial loan officer and ask about portfolio line of credit or asset based line of credit.Most of the banks (WellsFargo, SouthBank) and credit unions (Amplify CU) offer this product - we got a LOC from a CU secured by two paid off rentals - and is a matter of figuring out who gives you the best terms and in what conditions.

On a daily basis I receive many calls inquiring about the property, however only 9 applications have filled out the application.

My neighbor a few houses down had previously inquired about the availability of my rental due to his parents coming to visit from out of town for five days.

He inquired about the estimated rent to which I responded that it would possibly be in the range of $1250-1350 with the caveat that we haven’t completed our market research for the area for the appropriate rent rates and that it was a very rough estimate.During the renovation, we came across many ways in which we could make upgrades to further increase the value and the rent potential.

With money already invested in the loan however I felt compelled to move forward, but only because after inquiring they told me they would not refund me any of the costs I had incurred had I sought to cancel the loan application.Now, and I realize that this part is completely my fault, today I receive notice that my interest rate is going up 0.5% from what they quoted me because I did not lock it.
