Then we look for acceptable rental history for last 2 landlords, unless same place for 3+ years.

"I only accept applications from applicants with certification in Quickbooks" and then if their CV doesn't state this or there is no certificate, I delete them immediately.

As Nicholas said, contact as many as you can yourself and test out who you think are the best.

I've seen deals where investors accept a deal that's not so hot just to comply with the time frames. 

On our deals we always do rental rate, occupancy percentage, cost, and finance stress tests.  

Some tenants have stayed up to six months so it's nice to have the steady income while being able to accept tenants after they leave. 

Since I'm not buying properties in cash (nor willing to accept a commercial rate for a conventional deal) I am doubtful of deeding property to a Holding LLC after close - it seems risky (and wouldn't that pierce the corporate veil already?).

So, acquiring the property for a $2,100 cost with potential earnings of $2,900 is acceptable in your evaluation, provided there is sufficient financial backing to cushion any potential setbacks.Thank you, Frank! 

@Justin Rowe My main focus was to find a property with acceptable profit margins, and in a C- or better neighborhood, which at the time was challenging.I ended up buying in the Alta Monte neighborhood.

You'll get rejected a lot but it's getting more likely you'll get one accepted.
