Joining local FB groups may also be beneficial for networking.

Here's what I'd do: Create a Word Document or Google Document Titled "DRAFT: Life Vision" do not use a template, do not pay some guru for this.

That's where I think I can provide value, especially with a lightweight, user-friendly interface.On the lease storage and rent adjustments, yes - the landlord side will include a web platform where you can upload leases, store documents, track payments, adjust rent, etc.

Sometimes a refi or HELOC can be an alternative if you want to hold onto the property.If I were in your shoes, I would start looking at a refi first and see if that would be the most beneficial choice. 

I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys. 

During the escrow/title process, you are finalizing loan documents, reviewing title documents (HOA disclosures if applicable, title reports, etc), obtaining homeowner's insurance, and preparing to wire your funds to title. 

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

Stocks don't give you this.The tax code's most beneficial deductions are geared for taxpayers who create jobs (owning a business) or who house others (rental properties).

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Charlene Kingsnorth have you had an sec attorney also review what you are doing as if you're are having multiple people as part of a loan participating in it depending on the state this could get you in hot water - so be careful  good point Chris some state allow fractionalized deed of Trust mortgages other do not or require PPM like documents prior to offering them..

You can review your HOA's governing documents, also known as the CC&Rs, to understand the proper procedures.
