The mortgage broker or lender is generally going to use your middle mortgage credit FICO score which most people don't have access to unless they have already have had your credit run by a mortgage professional.

Before I rent a place it functions perfectly and they are remodeled with the idea that I'm renting to knuckleheads, so all things are accessible, repairable, common, and not high value.

Do you want tenants to have access to a portal where they can make rent payments, submit maintenance requests, and view lease terms?

I help maximize and schedule showings, communicate with other agents and tenants, and provide access to promulgated paperwork and full transaction management.

@Ashley AndersonTypically a HELOC and HEL are second mortgages and they can be a good way to access capital to invest, but the problem with using them is the interest rate is typically even higher than the debt you can get on the new purchase, so they might not be a great idea unless you plan to aggressively pay them down when you use them. 

In Florida, I've drafted lease provisions where the landlord has access to certain portions of the premises during the tenancy, but never for actual occupancy.

I wouldn't worry too much yet but if after a couple more days of no activity, I would bring the price down a bit to be closer to the top end of the market and see if there are recent comparables that have been rented (especially if you have access to the MLS)

So if you are self managing your property and it’s under an LLC and you lock the doors and do not give them access - guess what - the tenant does not sue the LLC fairy - they sue the LLC and the person who committed the act.

I am in KC and have access to fourplexes here. 

For the basics I'm looking at a half acre of land for 150k Duplex Manu 3/2 1900 sqft per side 230KConstruction is roughly 150kThe rent minimum i would expect is 2500 per side and could probably stretch it a little because of the amount of land they would have access to.
