Sometimes people ask to fill out an application before viewing the property, esp. in high demand areas, in which case I will email them an app, but again, only after they meet the screening criteria. 

The analysis shows the property cash flows at 80% LTV at 5% interest, DSCR 130% and at a pp of $360k which it looks like the seller is willing to accept.

For 100% of the listings that are real time and accurate, and to avoid solicitation, I recommend downloading Home Scout in the app store.

As you build out your apps, make sure you understand how to use the relationship field type.  

your numbers are fine that sounds about right on number of showings and apps on a rental listing in a 30 day period if you are priced competitively with your area.  

I download the podcast directly through the Bigger Pockets app since I do not use I-tunes or any other appWell this Thursday was different, I got on the Bigger Pockets app, and went to Podcast 226 and it did not play.

i havent done alot of this sort of research, BUT i have found if you contact the tax collector in each county they can tell you over the phone all info about the offering. also many tax collector have a site called a parcel veiwer where u can put in either the appraisers parcel # ( apn) or the "situs" address (actual physical address) these are usually free or pretty low cost also theres an app landglide thats really good and pretty inexpensive. hope it helps best of luck.

Other than through the app, we don't communicate or see the owner during our stay.

If they are serious, they fill out an application, pay the app fee, and then you run their info to verify that their application matches up to whats on their credit and criminal history, along with prior landlord references.

For those of you who use on-line apps, how valuable is the information you receive?
