I actually plan to put money down, but don't have a frame of reference yet of what a specific % looks like. 

This is a touchy subject.If you observed specific concerning behaviors during interactions, such as rudeness, aggression, or disrespect for property, these could potentially be valid reasons for rejection if documented properly.You should add one very important things to do on your checklist, past landlord references and it must be legit and find out why they aren't there any longer.

HiI was looking at some AL properties on RTR websites in Montevallo/Birmingham area which look good on paper; $260K-$270K range and close to $350/month cash flow after PM fee.

If I were you, I'd check out Mike Curadossi's website: https://section8doneright.com/.

The judge had doubts about the veracity of the website I was using to collect the rent (I gave him a print out of the payments and non-payments from the website) and thought we should have driven to unlock the door for the tenant when he locked himself out (3 hours) instead of telling him that was his issue and he should call a locksmith.In the end the judge asked him how much he thought he owed us and he did his calculations in the courtroom, not having this prepared. 

Making this up but you will probably need to own 100 of these to match the stories you’re referring to.
