The tenant can dispute and ACH charge just as easily. 

They have a system of PEOPLE to take on these tasks, this can be duplicated, rather easily.

My lists are too specific and small for ListSource and don't meet their minimum sales requirements (I might just expand my criteria to all of NC so I can stay specific and then filter out the zip codes I don't want to focus on).

Another question I want to ask: Do you filter the great lenders from the others by looking at their references and asking for their "track record" or previous business dealings, etc?

I don't keep track of my hours but log all the meetings in my calendar, and they easily add up to more than 15hrs/week. 

I've provided many links for you to easily reach out to investors that have worked with us to form your own opinion. 

You're trying to save on the broker fee but you could easily end up paying more in tuition attempting this on your own.

Perhaps a tenant portal, to easily communicate with them?

I know most home owners have a great amount of pride in owning their homes and could be easily offended by a cold call making an offer.
