In order to execute on any of the strategies from #2, you will want to a work/income history and decent credit scores.

Two, you'll have a much easier time obtaining a mortgage product if you have a track record of W2 income.In the meantime, continue implementing the strategies you mentioned: save religiously, build your credit, pay any existing debt owed, etc.

Poor communicators, poor housekeeping skills, prescription med abuse, big dogs that they couldn't properly care for, damaging, etc.

You need to build your credit.

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

Quote from @Griffin Malcolm: Open an LLC and apply for a small business line of credit from Key Bank.

I don't like one-time fees for software (he also says you can't buy it without signing up for his mentor/coaching program) because as a one-shot deal support, updates etc are usually pretty poor. 

You'll have to keep escalating this to get it resolved as the national PMC you hired is probably using poorly trained VAs who don't know/care/authorized to fix the problem.What do you mean about the, "undisclosed maintenance markup fees"?

Communication is very poor.
