The good news is that once you gain some traction you can hire a VA to help with the initial calls (either part time or full ). 

You can still get units filled during November-March, it's just colder so traction seems slower with tenants - during those months, I personally think you have to be more competitive with what you're going to ask for in rent versus what's nearby that's available/better if not same condition. 3.

When we did that, they sent an invoice for the leasing fee of $999 for a tenant they haven't placed in the property.So end result is that we lost $999 with this property management company and a month and half without much traction to get our property rented.

We didn't get much traction with Roomster and Kopa as by-the-room platforms, and we are a smaller market without a Padsplit presence.There are a lot of work crews passing through our neck of the woods, so the private rooms are appreciated as a bonus. 

You will get some traction but you would get much more advertising it on Craigslist and Facebook.It makes no sense to not take advantage of the VRBO platform.We just got another booking for next year, VRBO.

After you do that get to 5 million dollars in real estate that is when everything really starts gaining traction and your wealth turns into a run away train. 

It’s gaining traction in some areas as a proactive approach to stabilize tenant behavior and reduce defaults.

I would encourage Pace students that have had successful deals to post them there and describe in detail how they did it etc etc you will get a ton of traction from those..

In addition to some strategies listed above we have had some traction with furnished finder and zillow. 

And I'm projecting here, but it seems like the banker went through the list of named loans in their head like FHA, VA, jumbo, etc and wouldn't have "DSCR Loan" in a drop down list to select, as if you were asking for a FHA loan, so was stumbling a bit.I'd maybe suggest asking more about how the loans are underwritten when speaking with a mortgage officer and if saying "DSCR Loan" doesn't seem to get you traction, maybe ask something like "well, I was hoping that my request could be looked at from a DSCR perspective as well as any other underwriting you do for the best chance at approval because of XYZ."
