While the RentRedi's loaded with various toggles/buttons and affordable given the all-you-can-eat pricing, the interface is still very elementary and lacking in usability/design, which is often overlooked as a key determinant of whether your team actually adopts and fully leverages powerful management solutions like these.

One I saw charged $500 upfront to be pre-approved and would never actually fund any loans.

In my experience that's not actually the case at least in legitimate evictions for non-payment of rent or breach of another part of the lease.  

Have a picture of your family actually installing a big fancy door.And of course, I assume that you are licensed/bonded/imsured as required by your local laws?

Once you start seeing the deals, I'd start with one market to actually invest before I branch out. 

Some properties actually lose money each month but gain value through appreciation.

I actually got caught up in the creative finance bubble of trying to lock up properties way over their value just because it had creative terms not realizing that if you were to buy a property at 120% of its value you will never be able to refi or sell without paying out of pocket.

If the new administration actually enacts their policy stances on tariffs, immigration, trying to ignite the economy even more....all of those things add up to higher inflation.

One would think that a bidder would pay $45,000 in my example (since they are assuming the first mortgage), but they are actually bidding $225,000.

All this is, is a back of the envelope quick tool that gives you a very broad idea of whether or not an investment is actually worth looking further into.
