They even integrated a D4D feature, so overall they have DealMachine beat. 

Even if it was 8 hours a week that is pretty crazy.

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

Multi-family for me has been the way to go and has left me assurance that even during vacancy, I will be covering most of my mortgage. 

We even got a storage locker to keep things I find but that became expensive, too 😊I'm now not afraid to spend a bit more on finding the design I'm looking for.  

We always like to believe they wouldnt do that, but believe me, it happens, even when you dont expect it.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

And could even get a second home loan if doing traditional financing.

Right now, it is incredibly tough to make even a few hundred a month with traditional strategies.

If you’re serious about buying properties and doing real estate, then I would suggest working with the CPA that understands real estate even if the services cost more than your average H&R Block or some TurboTax program you can buy.
