Just catching up on this thread,  I agree with @Nathan Gesner,  It migh be best to pass on this one.  

This is not to say you can expect an Agent to catch everything and we are by no means inspectors or contractors, but anyone helping you purchase a rental property should have a basic understanding of rental standards to put out a good product that will attract a good tenant. - Lastly, if you are looking at real estate as a long term buy and hold strategy, you have to look beyond just cash flow.

I'm not sure why your lease would state they have 6 months to catch up (unless that is due to local laws), that's asking for trouble.

This ins't a catch-all, be-all kind of thing, but should get you going in the right direction.Most importantly is getting a good agent to keep you out of trouble and save you from yourself.

What's the catch?

I wanted to try something different because I receive a lot of similar letters and postcards for all my properties, that doesnt catch my eye much.For the cold calling, we use mojo dialer which has a built in crm and the power dialer.

I'm more than happy to catch up with local experts like yourself.

I'll be out an additional 17K/yr until the escrow catches up. 

Since then I can't pencil out any entry level SFH investments as rents are going to take a few years to catch up with the insane appreciation.

Successful fisherman know that 90% of their time and effort goes into planning and keeping equipment ready to perform and not actually hooking or reeling in the catch..often closing on a popular or active vacation rental (often in a competitive market) happens along the same lines (no pun intended).
