I have submitted my property on ALE but haven't received a lead so far

Are you now using one piece of software to help with your newer due diligence process or are you ad-hoc performing "deeper tenant screening, verifying payment histories, and cross-checking financials with third-party records."?

Software: Stessa for accounting, Deal Check for quick and dirty analysis of potential purchasesMarket positioning: Pet-friendly (fenced-yard, accept dogs and cats), well-designed homes, off-street parking, suburban, full cable TV package (not streaming only)Pricing: Targeting upper-middle market (not budget-conscious guests)So far, so good (since 2020)

Oh and I am currently submitting various properties in Los Angeles to private and hard money lenders.

Property Llama has a software that looks at how your current portfolio is preforming.  

Find a realtor that will submit the offers and lower your cost basis enough to where your returns get a bit of a bump. 

I just submitted plans to the city and now I'm looking for contractors/vendors. 

talking to the Bank its going to be far and few between that the mortgages these folks are taking sub to is still owned or controlled by the "Bank" the loans were sold within months of origination and maybe MERS has it ( sliced and diced) and for sure your dealing with a servicer.. who is not going to negotiate one bit.. now if you happen to have a sub to with a portfolio lender and you can actually talk to someone who is a decision maker thats different but I submit those loans will be a small fraction of the deals being done.

We are considering a new policy at BiggerPockets and request feedback.Idea: Update our website policy such that "Wholesalers" who break forum rules, solicit members, or submit requests to meet agents using our agent finder will be sent a $125 bill for each infraction. 

Yes, you should be fine to place a tenant as long as you’ve already submitted your application for the lead certification and are just waiting for it to process.
