So I find that when I evaluate properties according to the BiggerPockets method, including CapEx monthly, including 5% of gross rents for repairs and maintanence, including 10% for property managers, etc, NO property passes any test.  1% rule, 50% rule, or even being positive cash flow.  

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)?

I have a dedicated acreage (part of a 'change of use' to new 'best and highest' value model) in a dedicated site, barb wire secured, that might be suitable for wild simulated ginseng production.

Have you considered a security camera?

Also, will using an owner financed second have any effect on the ability to secure a first?

They still owe the debt of the note which is still secured.

I have secured lines of credit on each property in case I need to pull cash quickly to take advantage of an investment opportunity.  

I've been pretty good about doing most analysis and communication by email up until a property seems viable enough to walk, but hadn't thought of tracking my computer time to hyper analyze hours spent....probably have burned quite a few figuring out the methods of data collection and analysis.

Well, direct mail and bandit signs both cost MONEY; whereas cold calling is free of expense other than TIME... and if you are targeting the right persons to call, it should not be too long before you stumble across a deal that then gives you some money to add other methods.

My intent is to target military people specifically who are a little higher rank, who possess a security clearance, and who are specifically here for a short term lease for school.
