He's the brains, lead generator, agent, and property manager of the operation (I trust him completely, he's a rock star), I'm basically providing the money. 

The only thing the seller listed in the non-disclosure was that there may be lead-based paint in the home.

Another red flag for a lender.Perhaps you could get a Hard Money loan from some of the commercial platforms out there.

We are planning to roll out a custom built property management platform later this year for Premier Property clients.

What platform do you use for your rental properties? 

Also tired of spinning my wheels with farming neighborhoods.I do have a question...is anyone working with any lawyers (or that has in the past) that specializes in probate law that receive any leads? 

Someone that is pretty aggressive and "go go go", just because that is how my personality tends to be so we would work better together.Any leads would be very greatly appreciated!!!

This leads me to believe the mortgage is the better option.

@Syrica Brown use a platform like rentalutions or cozy - It will help you screen tenants, it will post your property on multiple websites and lots more. 

Does anyone have advice for a good CPA in San Diego.  Someone to cover down on SFR? Thanks!
