Unless you're able to get in and actually take a look it's the equivalent of just throwing a dart at a board.

But, I personally don't understand how you can feel "good" banking up PAL while also equivalently banking up the tax deferred depreciation recapture. 

I think it's a good idea.First, it is opt-in by the tenant.It allows the tenant to pay electronically.I am assuming that when it is paid, Experian records the date of transfer and compares it to something that have on file as the "due date" or equivalent "window".And, the tenant gets "credit" for the payment (made on time).If it's paid in cash, well, then that defeats the entire purpose and this service wouldn't apply.

Most PM I know charge a tenant placement fee that's equivalent to 50-100% of first month rent.

You practicality bid on a HUD owned home (HUD's equivalent of REO) on the internet using an authorized real estate agent.

These are leaseholds my friend who most likely will be gone in 5 years.The equivalent of a 125k Leasehold condo is $1.5 Fee simple condo in Waikiki.You can CASH FLOW in the leasehold only if you also live there, I knew few bay area retirees that's purposedly buy $125k waikiki condo because he's also living there and then Airbnb-it at the same time (AFAIK you 'may' not need to apply for STR permit if you live there as long as you pay GE tax--but please double check).You MAY get lucky if the leasehold owner decides to sell the right of leasehold (so you can convert it to FS type).

If a seller gets a ton of letters from people at the same time they feel like they have tons of options and think the can slant price in their favor even when facing foreclosure etc.Some services in years past were 4 to 6 months behind in updating which is the equivalent of having a bad list.

Debt Service Coverage (DSCR) is the inverse of it's consumer equivalent, Debt to Income (DTI).

I'm going to be putting the Menards equivalent of the vinyl planking into a rental and have about 1,000 square feet to do. 

It's legal and saves major headaches if there are problems.Ironically, in the above situation, the owner (being a soft-hearted man) paid the tenant the equivalent of a one-night stay in a decent local motel.
