Right now I use an VA from the Philippines to respond to all my leasing questions (from Facebook, email, text, and phone) and help with application screening and it's been working great for over 5 years!

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

In addition, committing ~ $200K requires some level of sophistication on the part of the investor and you are more likely to find someone to agree to your terms in smaller transaction sizes, but even that will be difficult. 

For your due diligence, you can also ask to see the tenant's original application and screening reports. 

@Marc Shin We have used small baskets of the trash can size to make them look more upscale.

Size of deal.  

You don’t really have to enter passwords anymore, most channels load the activation code option, the few that don’t load it have the option on that log in screen to do it. 

Given the size of portfolio needed that presses a need for it to be mostly A class assets to mitigate operational weight, so it could push closer to $80m in acquisitions. 

These properties today can throw cash like crazy, but you'll be dealing with a certain kind of tenant and depending on your tenant screening could be looking at higher costs due to poorer tenants.

Nice - congrats - hard to find Multifamily DSCR Loans at that size but looks like you successfully executed!
