Hello,I was curious if there was any sort of consensus regarding online or streamlined screening of tenants; including application.  

I have a good handle on it, but want to really dial in my system and streamline it so I can focus on scaling.

We've been doing some of this ourselves and would love to streamline this process.

I developed my own fairly sophisticated software programs that streamlines importing thousands of records into my database and then it creates mailing lists, or lists of phone numbers, email addresses and the software gives me the ability manage whatever I want to  do, very easily.Here is the problem with any mailing list I ever purchase from any company and I've been purchasing mailing lists going as far back as 1973 when the lists came only as a list on paper, or labels to paste on envelopes.The problem I sncounter with mailing lists is we will send 20,000 to 50,000 very nice letters customized with the property owners proper salutation on the letter and usually get zero responses, or maybe 1 or 2 responses that don't pan out.

Also, I would like to add to the topic to continuously evaluate your own operations and streamline and simplify the turnover process for your cleaners. 

We buy things in bulk, we have streamlined processes for each property, we do hundreds of these every year and we know what to look out for when vetting a property.

If you are interviewing a lender for the FHA loan make sure they offer BOTH the "Full" and "Streamline" option.Important Items to know about FHA Renovation LoansA FHA option to roll renovation/repair work into the loan.

If you can do a low downpayment conventional loan (many credit unions offer this) and avoid the PMI and get the seller to pay your closing costs then you can come out of pocket to pay for those repairs and in that scenario you will probably come out way ahead of a 203k streamline or bridge loan type products in the long run.

What are some tips/tricks you use as self managers to streamline calls like these and how you get them taken care of without getting burnt out on landlording while also not having to pay 10% of income toward a PM? 

I just did a streamline on my home to get those payments as low as possible without a mod...
