Works really well when we could also line it up the day a unit went vacant so we could handle all the dumb stuff that they charge so much for in a turnover, then let their crew handle what we didn't want to do.

You give me access to enough data and I can tell you what you'll eat for breakfast in a week and what color clothes you'll pick for that day. A

It sounds like you are not even willing to sacrifice one day a month to attend a real estate meeting.

How much more rent $ could get you on a new home, per day a run down one ?

I've been a small time buy and holder investor for about 10-years and am now looking to supercharge this to build both a legacy for my kids one day, as well as a path to exit my W2 job.

And at the end of the day, a cohort of people who will motivate one another and hold each other accountable to their goals on a weekly or monthly basis.  

This delay is costing me money every day as my property remains vacant.Additionally, their application process is extremely tedious and discouraging for prospective tenants.

To make things worse, most of the communication with the underwriter took a day as they "were swamped". 

In the end you will prepare a reconciliation of the tenants account which includes rent up to the day a new tenant moved in, the lease termination fee, credit for the security deposit and see if she pays it.

It also seems to interrupt the day as well because good deals go fast.
