However, I did take issue with the tone of the message, especially the part where they told me how they’d be paying rent.For context, there are no outstanding maintenance or repair issues, so I’m unsure what the tenant is referring to.

This is Spot on, It was actually Kavi that I was referring to.

Do you check Landlord references?

Many DSCR programs require an investor to have a mortgage history- there are some DSCR mortgage programs that will work with investors who are renting- some refer to them as first time home buyers (FTHBs)- DSCR loans are only for investment properties where the owner isn't living there. 

I am not from real estate background and have been referred to bigger pockets by friends.

The companies you will find in the lender finder section of BP are probably mostly companies as opposed to a private person like you are referring to.

Quote from @Adam Bartomeo: Quote from @Drew Sygit: @John Paul Palace their bggest challenge is finding competent PMCs to recommend to their clients.That's what most of the negative feedback here on BP is about them - which is UNFAIR as they're selling a rental property, NOT PMC services.Recommend you do your own due diligence on PMCs before just going with their recommendation.Their biggest problem in Cape Coral is the builders that they referred.

Also, when you say rental property, are you referring to short term rentals or long term?
