Its easy to store this proof forever. 

So I'm seeing units being held back for longer... sometimes months to find a qualified bulletproof applicant.

Here’s how we handle applications:Income Verification: We require proof of income that’s at least three times the monthly rent, verified through six recent pay stubs and a detailed employment verification process.

Same process as always, BG check and proof of income as most of the property owners I deal with require.

Their rates are good but boy, they looked at my financials and ask some funny questions such as asking for proof that I could withdraw funds from my SEP IRA account, and that I need to provide documentation to verify that  this employer sponsored retirement account allows for funds to be withdrawn, or if withdrawals could only be made in connection with the borrowers employment termination, retirement or death etc. everyday they sent me something new to answer.

I believe if I can present a bullet proof opportunity, I can find the funding.

Even if you joined a good mentoring program in another location, they will probably tell you to start building a team in your target market, so the end result is the same.Again, I can only speak firsthand of the Sumrok program, but I can tell you that Brad's students are absolutely doing the things you mentioned in your two bullet points.

The burden of proof is on YOU!

What kind of financials and proof are you receiving from the fund?

If you allow pets, your lease should require proof of licensing, regardless of breed.If the owner lets them run, with ensuing "incidents," I guarantee that violates city statutes.I (personally) would advise getting rid of the tenant.
