But my overall investment strategy and Risk/Reward needle is leaning negative for the overall economy. 

Always screen or vex your tenants, check their references and make sure they have a good job.

We have REISift as a CRM and use what's referred to as "Siftline boards" to create flows for different teams members (i.e. lead management, acquisitions, transaction coordination, etc.) and automated tasks are set up depending on where the property falls on the Siftline board. 

If your prospective property manager cannot provide a number of references for you, consider it a red flag.2.

@Calum ShallenbergerRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Like you and me, they want to do a good job and be rewarded for it.

Unfamiliar with what you're referring to.

These are popular programs among investors because they do not report to credit agencies, use DTI to qualify, and do not require tax returns or income verification.You can use a DSCR loan to purchase or cash-out refinance, a strategy commonly referred to as BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat).

There is no way I would refer to all time most expensive or least affordable in over 40 years as a buyers market (note this is not to imply that it is a great sellers market).However, this is not my main concern about purchasing most MLS properties in this market.
