I don't have four residential loan slots left.

You can have 10 conventional mortgages in your name, a spouse can have 10 in their name. 20 mortgage slots available for a married couple.

I am in the process of considering property management software and wanting to hear from others how they got a good majority of their tenants to switch to paying rent online instead of writing checks.As we have rental offices at our properties, most tenants just drop off handwritten checks there (we even have a mail-slot for after hours), so there isn't that much work involved.  

That is unless you make enough cash flow to hire someone to empty those coin slots.

@Judy Parker will my realtor be able to get that information on the tenants?

@Judy Parker I get the feeling that the well water has been contaminated by the cesspool, but haven't been able to confirm yet.

Originally posted by @Judy Parker:Landlords need advocates to fight on their behalf.

Once you get 10 on the books, then roll the majority of those to a commercial blanket loan, and open up your 10 Fannie Mae slots again.

I'm guess the upside is vacant slots infill, and about half your expenses were labor (guessing that's the owners take).

You can each have up to 10 loans, so if there are 4 of you, you could have potentially 40 properties collectively before being out of Fannie Mae slots.
