The prices have gone up faster than the rents so the Rent Value ratio has fallen.  

Does that hold any significant weight in the determining factor?

Therefore a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  

I am interested in an easier faster way to generate leads

Rehabbing can build cash faster but it is more work.

Typically higher rates, but tend to close faster 10 business day time frame which would allow you to start recycling your money earlier.

People think that a Y2Y will give you some assurance that a tenant won't leave in the middle of winter or after one month, but a tenant is going to leave when they need to leave.You can add deposit return penalties to protect against that if that is legal in your area.I like M2M for the reasons above - the ability to terminate the agreement without cause, to change the terms if needed, and to get tenants out faster when things go wrong.Some applicants want to lock in to a time period.  

You've freed them from a weight that they would have been unlikely to able to escape from under themselves.I saw a couple of posts this week from a designer giving tips, tricks, and lessons on what to put into a property - and although her photos were from an 80 unit new building in New York, I think yours are even better.  

Good plan IMO except for a few things ... 1)Don't buy turnkey ... buy something where you can put in some sweat equity and force some appreciation; this will give you extra experience and also enhance your returns to scale faster/easier. 2)Do not ignore appreciation rates; cash flow day one is great, but you want to make sure you buy in a neighborhood that will hold its value and has steady, reliable rents after inflation at the least and at best increases in value; if not, then your cash flow could just be your initial investment getting trickled back to you in monthly installments while you are losing purchasing power on the property. 3)Keep your possessions down to a minimum in a smaller space; this is good financial advice anyway but doubly important if you will be moving every few years.

I always require credit scores so that is indeed a part of the total score (perhaps I could weight it more) I use to determine "hopefully" the best applicant.
