I paid for 1 month.

If I advertise my unit on the open market for $1500 per month and a section 8 tenant is interested and gives me their packet and I fill out the packet stating the rent I am charging is $1500, there is no surprise side deal because all parties are aware of the rent I am charging.

Some of the things I'd like it to do/keep track of:-Track purchase price, details of any loans, and current equity in the property as well as total portfolio equity-Track current and past rents for properties-Track total ROI for individual properties, as well as entire portfolio-Track expenses, be able to upload receipts, bills, etc-Track Debt service pay down, appreciation estimates, etcNOT looking for management software like Buildium, Doorloop, Appfolio, etc   Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Side note on why some DSCR loans report to credit: loans get packaged up and sold to large servicing companies after closing. 

In some areas 1/2 - 1 months' rent is paid to any agent that brings a qualified tenant.

Half are to repeat customers or to people staying 6+ months and paying every week.

The months’ supply of inventory has risen to 4.5, up by 55.2%.

You don't know what type of tenant they're going to be and you're giving them the first month free.Maybe offer their 12th month free with the caveat that the prior 11 months rent must have been paid on time and no lease violations.  

Have values gone down since the asking prices have remained relatively unchanged over the last 6-12 months?

While slightly more “boring”, with the amount of money you have to work with you could probably finance 4-6 $200,000 rentals and generate monthly income that could go a long way towards replacing / supplementing  a descent portion of your W2 income.
