I was wondering if anybody has any resources in this area and experience in how to do it and not break the bank.

On the RTR website under education, then tools, we have a free portfolio calculator that I highly encourage you to play around with as well as that allows you to evaluate both individual properties, but also a portfolio as a whole. 

I wanted to say thank you to all the individuals who reached out to me and connected me with some very influential people.

I’d love to hear your experiences and any advice you have on how to approach this.

I have read every forum I could find reviewing of each of these and most are fairly dated so it'd be great to have recent experiences with them considering how software changes/hopefully improves with time and development. 

I have a lot of experience and can tell you that the majority of renters ask to sign a longer lease because they want to distract you from looking too deeply into their past, they want to entice you to select them over other qualified renters, or they want to negotiate a lower price.

Has anyone had a positive experience with that?

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

In your experience, was the study pricing justified for how much tax savings you got?

Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences and learning together!
