We have an automated system using some coding applications (self made) to generate leads from various sites, coupled with help from some VA's.Once the data / lead list is created on a spreadsheet/google sheets, we pull into Freshsales as our CRM. 

I've generally purchased properties that had the potential to generate additional NOI and I've managed them such that I've forced quite a bit of equity, however, my main focus is cash flow. 

We do not utilize any lead generation services like Thumbtack or Homeadvisor because the ones looking for quotes on those sites only care about who is the lowest.

Long term goal is to get involved with enough buy and hold rentals to generate passive income and, ideally, financial freedom.

I know of mortgage products for example that will allow you to look at the income being generated from the property itself (don't care about W2, tax returns, etc).

On an individual scale, when encountering an asymmetry you make the choice to absorb or outsource that risk.

Verification:Rental of Other Property Not Securing the VA Loan Obtain the following: documentation of cash reserves totaling at least 3 months mortgage payments (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance - PITI), and individual income tax returns, signed and dated, plus all applicable schedules for the previous 2 years, which show rental income generated by the property.

I am here to learn, connect and develop with like-minded individuals.

The A/R page at the end listed the individual units but 5 out of 12 had arrears and 2 looked like they were behind a year.

Over time the individual sections shift , develop gaps and leaks and that encourages root growth.
