Tenant owned homes tenants can be trained to use rent payment systems that automate collecting rent.  

I'm big into business systems, delegation, automation and growth and self development.

They buy another one and close on it and then short sale the first house after words to dump it.Sounds like you are under "manual review" for underwriting and have been flagged versus and automated vanilla underwriting.

What you really need is automation throughout the Rent Cycle, Vacancy Cycle and Maintenance Cycle. 

As the clerk how you can trace ownership of a certain property using their grantor/grantee system and by using the tax assessor's system, as well.Yes, I know these things are likely online, however you are in the "wax on, wax off" stage and need to learn the original system for which computers and online databases have merely automated.

In most cases we would assume Zillow has an inflated value due to the nature of their automation.

Hi, Guys.My name is Dmitry and I'm a full-time software developer.I live in Tampa Bay, work remotely, making a good income and generally like what I do.But the thought of "what if" pushing me to think about other sources of income.I and my wife purchased recently our first home, and now we saved up a little to put as down payment for our first rental property.After reading few books and getting some info online, videos on youtube and bigger pockets posts and webinars, we decided that starting with rentals is the best way to go.Now we are working with a realtor, looking for the first deal, but not sure if its hot TB market, low price range (under 100K) or I'm just trying to be too safe, but I just have trouble finding something that will work.It has been about two months since I started to get leads from the realtor (automated search), but I haven't seen even one that would give me some confidence that it would work.But hopefully, will find one soon.Our goal is to start with one property before the end of this year.P.S.

You COULD find a maintenance guy and.or get rent collection automated, but on the first month rent doesn't get paid through the system or your maintenance guy doesn't answer his phone, you'll be in a bad spot.

Automate everything you can- online applications, rent payments, background checks, etc.
