Basically almost all the items you mentioned when traveling can be written off to a certain extent.

I would do the work of manually looking through other listings in your area.

Hey Ashley So I would invest in a software like prop stream. you can make a list of landlords pretty easily with a software like that.

I put $20k into rehab and have had it listed for 50 days at $235k. 

Not here to provide an  endorsement or be critical of the lenders on this list but volume is not by any means an indicator I would rely upon when selecting my banking relationships.

They won't learn those items until they actually do deals. 

However, I got caught up during creating my listing because it looked like I needed to have another account (Stripe?

Your list is more important than you realize3.

For instance instead of having to stay glued to new listings, find the ones that show potential, then estimate rent, then put them in your calculator, then look at comps for ARV, then finally calculate offer price etc. 

It gives you a list of all the assumable mortgages in your area.
