Most of the software out there will provide you with the applicant's comprehensive criminal, credit and eviction history. 

I've done some research and it seems like a pretty straight forward process to go through the vetting process before being able to accept applications but as anything that may not necessarily be the process when executing it.

As part of the application, there needs to be an entire "narrative" about my intentions with the property, addressing dozens of regulations and other points of interest, site drawings, signs on the property, and even attending a public hearing about my proposal.

I think of providing washers and dryers as an amenity to attract more and better applicants.

It takes SEO knowledge and application of that knowledge in a unique novel way.If you follow my rants on this forum for many many months now, I always boast about "to hell with Google".

It helps me to network and provide value to other investors I network with.With all of those perks being discussed, let's take a look at the math on the marketing side:Let's use 2 hypothetical lists for example:1) My scrubbed list of probates to check the probate records for "real property being inherited" and a different mailing address for the applicant and the inherited or soon to be inherited property.2) A random list pulled from ListSource containing certain criteria of out of state absentee and 90% or more equity in the house.List 1:mailing 1000x5 times with a postcard costing $.50 ($2,500) (hypothetically let's say 80% of these leads have motivation) ($500 is in vain)List 2:same $2500, except only 50% of these leads have motivation of some sort, so there's more tire kickers and less potential. ($1250 will be in vain)With this math, the value of a great list will be worth at the very least $750 plus value in the market place, more concentrated motivation, and much less tire kickers.What does the BP community think?

The Operations guy wants out after meeting new applicants.....

However, since you are a foreign national (I assume), other laws and reporting requirements may be applicable as well.I would consult an attorney who has expertise in such situations.

If you are the sole member of a domestic LLC, file Schedule E (or Schedule C, C-EZ, or F, if applicable).

Only fha, va and commercial loans have the possibility of being assumed, with a loan application and approval.
