I'm testing out www.getprivynow.com in my home market, but I have access to Dallas as well and it's showing 150 active properties in the Dallas area, with investor comps that fetched 70% ARV or better.

@Daniel Pitta In my opinion Background checks are the number one best way to vet a prospective tenant.Many things fall under background checks like calling their employer and previous landlords.Also I know some PM's that like to sneak and peak in their car and see if is junky, if so they is likely how they will treat your property.Also these same people will find an excuse to stop by their current residence and look in the door for the same reason.W-2 paycheck verification.No evictions in last 5 years.Tenants make 3x the rent.If they can't come up with all move in money don't rent to them.They ones that beg and plead for you to rent to them you should run from.Make sure they have stable employment - same job or in same field for 2 years or longer.Get a larger deposit than 1 months rent to encourage them to give you proper notice when they move and that they don't try and use deposit as rent when they move out and that they also leave your property in good condition.

It is really a one-stop shop for knowledge and connecting with others with similar aspirations. 

@Robert Matelski Cant stop now!!

Stop wasting your time searching for a HELOC on a Cash Out of an Investment/ rental property over 80% CLTV, because it ain't happening!

I’m really excited to get started and I’m hoping these forums will bolster my enthusiasm.I’m trying to get to the bottom of HELOC money “seasoning” because once I get access to the cash I really don’t want to wait for two more months to make a deal!

I am looking for a SECURE, reasonably-priced (preferably free) site that allows prospective tenants to fill out an application online and then have the completed application emailed directly to me (or give me online access to the information)?

However, the more research I do, the more it seems that when you really need the funds, it is likely to come in some black swan event by which access to credit is limited. 

As you change jobs again, you will have access to another chunk from this current 401k and could then evaluate a self-directed IRA.

In FL, when you're buying someone's Homesteaded Property, this tactic can stop everything dead in it's tracks!
