A rough estimate of monthly Net Operating Income would be 50% of monthly actual rents = 19670 Net Operating Income (19670) minus total debt service (21406) = 1736 (negative; use reserves for this) Once the building is optimized (95% occupancy), break even is achieved and valuators (cap rate, NOI) improve.

The best way to find them is to send out mailers.Some good lists to target are Absentee Owners with Equity, Seniors with Long-time Ownership and Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores.You can work with a list broker to optimize your list for your area.

If they can't or have concerns about paying a higher portion of the rent, I'd give them the option to end the lease and move out...no harm, no foul...when the deployed person moves out.I understand why it isn't an optimal situation. 

I think how you optimize is determined by the tenant base that exist in the area you want to own in and eviction laws.I have also seen a variation where the landlord collects weekly almost like a hotel.

However, what I plan to do is to optimize cashflowing REI to speed up early retirement plan by 20-30 yrs.  

We will be focusing on optimizing the portfolio over the next few months.  

Myself I have optimism going in, but if it doesn't live up to my hope and optimism, it's just the cost of one month's internet, but I am sure it will at least give enough value to cover the $100 if not much much more.

I am just trying to optimize money so that I can buy the most properties over the next few years that I can. 5Kx4 years costs me one downpayment in the end.

I would say it's usually not about the website & content so much....rather how optimized it is for search engines.

Admittedly we want to optimize our due diligence time on solid deals rather than wasting it on shaky ones.So we are looking for your input on the criteria we desire to see from a Wholesaler looking to assign his/her property under contract to us.
