If you have a few single family rental homes and are looking for a way to streamline leases, applications and rents, maybe rentredi is the right solution, but if you have a multi unit property or any serious management needs, look elsewhere. 

An update one year later after this post, I now have:- Got my property and casualty license and wrote 370+ policies in a year- Saved up a few more thousand dollars in investable cash, paid off $20K in debt and raised my credit score by 100 points- Launched a direct to seller cold email marketing campaign and generated leads for cheap- Got connected with a few real estate investing communities like Subtle Asian Real Estate and Pace Morby's SubTo- Aggressively read and studied as much as I can get my hands onThat being said, I decided to run a marketing campaign to generate distressed seller leads in Phoenix, Arizona, mostly because:1.

Also be open to knowing that you are acquiring a series of problems.You're in the solution business. 

Interest income is interest income, unless you decided to roll some of the current cash into a self directed IRA at which point your interest income would be deferred for a later time and allow your funds to grow tax free.

It seems like your goal is appreciation or that you are willing to sacrifice cash flow for appreciation, as long as your return is trending in the right direction.

Here’s how: Go Direct to Sellers – The best deals aren’t on the MLS.

I come across SFR in other states from time to time direct to seller. 

if they are pressuring you like this.PLEASE watch the American Greed Episode on Remmington Financial  .not saying these guys wont or don't fund of course.. but when I do my deals with my banks its common that I pay for the phase one and the appraiser directly..  

I would be very careful in working with a 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary that provides ("sells"0 replacement property solutions as part of their services. 

I've purchased a couple of my investment properties directly from property management clients who decided to sell.
