I finally got word of an approved application. 

To solve this, I built a custom mobile app to handle rent payments and due dates because no other management software can handle the payment schedules or turnover.

What kinda hurdles do you have to overcome to get approval, and how long is that process?

I wish the map options were available on the mobile app as well though. 

You may spend thousands of non-refundable dollars to present them with deals, but there is no guarantee of approval.

The county is the second fastest-growing in the U.S. and the fastest in North Carolina.The zoning for the project is already approved, and with our captive audience of potential tenants, I’m confident that all units will be leased upon completion.I’m seeking advice on how to best structure this debt with a private investor or investors in the short term until the property is fully rented and long-term financing is secured.

I can mobile deposit rent checks into the correct ones from the app, I can transfer money from any one account to another all from the app.  

@Austin TessTo buy your first multifamily property, follow these steps: get pre-approved for financing with an FHA Loan, identify a high rental demand market, choose between house hacking or pure rental strategy, analyze the property using the 1% rule, build a team, negotiate the purchase, and manage the property professionally.

We chatted for almost an hour, he showed me around his place, and I got to know a bit about him—a really nice guy.Then, at another spot, I drove up just to look from the outside (since it was “showings for pre-approved buyers only”), but the seller came out, curious about what I was doing.
