What is the selection criteria for investors to which you will pitch these investments?

I now am more selective about loan officers as well as lenders. 

I was contacted by a real estate coaching company and they told me I’d been selected to “apply” for their coaching program.

My comments were not to scare you away from them or any lender in general, I just do not think websites that say they are going to provide you with the best lender for you when in theory they only have a select few options.

My recommendation would be to get approved as a Landlord, contact the director's office and request that an inspection be completed before a tenant is selected (sometimes they will do this as long as you select a tenant within 14 days - which you want anyways), and have an online application and screening resource in place.  

I recommend selecting an investment city based on the following criteria.Key Criteria for Choosing an Investment CityRents Must Outpace InflationFinancial freedom depends on rental income growing faster than inflation.

SPOA is an organization that I support. https://www.spoa.com/ Now I am very very careful when selecting tenants. 

This is a common misconception but we're an online platform where the owner chooses their own price and selects their own tenants.
