Quote from @NA Hirsch: What service do you recommend for doing a soft pull on a potential borrower's credit?

Rentredi is a good software but BEWARE if you sign up for automated bill pay, they will charge your account if you do not cancel prior to the renewal and they will not refund your payment even if you request it the same day they pulled the payment from your account. 

Just make sure you guys are comfortable with the area before pulling the trigger.

Buy and renovate the property and in 6 months do a simple cash out refinance and pull out some cash and start the REI process all over again.I am North of you up in Pinellas County West of Tampa and there are also some great places up here that might save you some cash. 

It’s tough to pull off something similar with $50k-$100k in a short period—it’s just not realistic.

You'll likely pull a few hundred extra dollars and will will get shorter leases that could work better for your traveling.

BRRRR with a bang: If you can pull this off, the value-add potential is huge.

I am actually doing a flip right now and hard money lender isn't the easiest to give us a loan for the rehab (draws verse pulling all at once, which is normal).

I was trying to get started, had all the information but needed to pull the trigger to get in the game. 

County, State and Federal rights supersede the craziness that some random liberal city council & Obama impersonator try to pull.
