My buy box consists of a 2 bed/2 bath minimum property within 30 miles of Columbia, MD.

I am using an off market property database software but it isn't consistent bc this type of asset is classified differently by county. 

Your household names: Ernst and Young, Deloitte, KPMG, etc all offer audit services, as do your regionals like Grant Thornton.A full audit will typically consist of spot checking everything from invoices/receipts tying out to specific checks paid by accounts payable, and down to leases being input into the system, and tying rent payments to cleared checks.  

The renter clientele is much more consistent and typically the appreciation is as well so it makes for a more passive investment.

What I've learned with this structure is to ensure the you are consistently paying down on principal, or you risk the bank eventually calling in the note, or asking you to restructure. 

When I rented myself, every lease renewal there was an increase, as small as $40, but consistently every year.

Some landlords find themselves in a precarious situation when their rental properties consistently generate losses, leading to financial strain.

If not you can use a bank statement program if you have consistent deposits into your business checking account.  

Also, if we don’t qualify (our credit score may be shot, but I’m not sure), is the only other option just trying to sell our house as fast as possible with a realtor?

Moreover, I’ve noticed a concerning pattern where the agent consistently failed to secure homes we bid on previously, despite my trust in her expertise.
