Hello Kyle,When screening applications for the properties that I manage, I always look for:- Income of at least 3 times the monthly rent (verified through the employer)- Credit score of 580+- Rental verification with past landlords (no outstanding balances, no late payments, and the property left in acceptable condition)- No history of collections, evictions, or criminal offenses- No overdue debt (except medical debt)I have found this screening standard very helpful when finding tenants who pay on time and treat the property well!

You've got to remember the home has already been through numerous inspections prior to delivery, so the time it takes to finish is minimal.  

The 2nd group can often be spotted via the credit report, and they are a lot less fun to host (late payments, asking for concessions, demanding, etc.)

Lately we have been selling off the smaller properties in the portfolio, rolling those into bigger or nicer units with a 1031 exchange.

PS is revolutionary because of how it has simplified access to all of the various data points investors need to make a decision and because of this its extremely popular.You do not want to be using a popular lead source to increase deals because everyones chasing the same deals.And nothing will change with there data because there business model forces them to have to buy and license the data they get which means waiting for the county/databroker to send it to them which guarantees anyone using PS data will be behind the counties, only getting a fraction of the leads and getting those late leads the same time as everyone else.How do you get access to the leads first.

I have not finished a book yet, so this may be somewhat jumping the gun.

They're pre-finished RTA, and it's usually only ~$100-150 per cabinet to install.

We all know 'housing affordability' is one of the hottest political topics as of late but I'm not seeing any commitments to increase inventory. 

As of lately, the traditional BRRRR is not working with the higher rates and low inventory as, others have mentioned. 

I'm getting up there in age and feel like I'm getting a late start, so I'm looking to avoid any unnecessary steps along the way.
