As a company we are considering a third party that offers virtual/face time walk thru's where human engagement occurs from the first phone call, until 11pm, weekends, holidays included- where the prospective tenant is loosely (virtually) tethered all the way through showings, feedback, follow ups and ultimately application process.

Felt like I was speaking with a virtual assistant backed by AI.He estimated my re-roof would be half the size at double the rate quotes I got from everybody else... truly amateur hour for somebody that claimed to have done hundreds of these.I also was never able to find more than 5 property records tied to his name or to related LLCs.

@Eugene Lubman Selling the property to your parents allows them to generate passive income while enabling you to perform a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes.

Network (Virtually and more importantly in person)3.

You may entertain virtual office space as well. 

Hi @Philip Jones,For the refinance aspect, the main factors will be the FICO Score, cash flow of the property, and as-is value.A Higher FICO will let you get a larger loan size and lower interest rate.Good Cash Flow will ensure that your property will be profitable for you and enable you to get the max loan size that your FICO allows for.The As-is Value will play an important role in making sure that you meet the minimum requirement for a DSCR loan of 100k, but also in making sure that the rehab work that has been done provided significant value add.

I have a friend who has concrete stain in his multimillion dollar home and it looks good and is virtually indestructible.   

This is not the place to cheap out over a few hundred dollars.Lots of lenders and virtually all borrowers never read their loan documents.

A base hit with virtually no risk is a fine place to start.  

Some others it is just answering messages virtually.
