For instance, how did the due diligence "come back as clean" and the "leases were solid" if the rent was not paid up to date and paid REGULARLY?  

I think real estate investing has always been a long play whether it be Turnkey or any other route. 

As long as the property generates enough cash flow, you may qualify based on the asset alone.Another route is to explore portfolio loans from local banks or credit unions.

Although we do have deals on the lending side that dont work but we are not forced into a position to take big loss's like we were when the banks were calling our loans.. this will happen in the DSCR world as all these folks are using same type of debt IE debt that can be called based on the terms of the debt or like you have seen with the syndicators that are talked about on BP max leverage bad debt things dont go right And you have cap calls or projects totally lost. 

Dynamic pricing tools like PriceLabs or Beyond Pricing can help boost your revenue by adjusting rates based on demand.

(Note: I'm not a lawyer, but this is my understanding based on my experience)  A human being will need to sign on behalf of the LLC and that human will need to have the authority to sign. 

@Travis Boyd Outside of instances where FHA or other extremely advantageous financing options exist I am a proponent of the LLC for investment real estate although the liability piece is overstated.

I am based in Sacramento, California looking to start and pursue a career in real estate!
