If you're living in a home that needs considerable work, your living quarters will not be in the best shape.The beauty of it is that you don't have to do all of the work yourself but you would be able to do some of the work, thus saving you money.  

I looked at the background of this.I find it hard to believe that in 2 days they called and got a hold of 6000 renters who answered their phones (didn't let it ring off to V-mail) and took the time to answer their questions without hanging up.Over a 12 hour call day that would be 250 positive hits an hour.That would have to be one great call list.

My background is in software dev and I worked on a major bank’s REO website query improvements so I’m quite confident it’s not an earth shattering technological challenge.

You and your team must embody creativity with get-****-done attitude.The beauty of short-term rentals is that a majority of the processes are repeated, and, therefore, can be systemized with software.

It's clear from your post that you don't have the background knowledge (yet) to embark on a house flipping project.

We screened the tenants over the phone, via their online application, by interviewing their bosses and current/former landlords over the phone, looking at their social media, background check etc. without coming in physical contact at all.

Have you done any kind of background check on them?

Then theres the crap renter's warehouse tenant that we had evicted due to nonpayment since mid-November who trashed our beautifully kept home when they left.

Lease Options look beautiful as long as everybody does what they are supposed to do.I haven't heard anyone address the possibility that the seller doesn't make the mortgage payment and the property goes into foreclosure.

Anyhow a long response but kind of a background on me.
