For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

You can still depreciate the property, perform a cost segregation study if applicable, and deduct ordinary and necessary expenses related to being a landlord.

In 10 minutes of looking at your application they can tell either "This will work", or "You need to fix these things before it will work."

I am preferential to medium/long term rentals so my exit strategy would not be applicable for many years.I make a comfortable living and have a surplus of money saved up but don't want to liquidate my entire savings accounts so I can get just one singular 200K property that may cash flow for a couple hundred bucks over the next few years.Am I missing something or being overly cautious?

Also, I'm willing to make any and all applicable visits required but I'm planning to make each visit laser focused.

Number of applications received?

I've looked at Box and I don't mind paying for cloud storage (since otherwise you pay with privacy) but at the time I didn't like the application integration on iOS as much.

One application, one credit pull usually, lots of lender options....vs filling stuff out over and over.

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

Mortgage application activity has already seen a bump as primary mortgage rates are nearing twenty month lows around 6%, FHA in the very low 5%'s (and I've even heard of 4.875%'s floating around..) with DSCR rates now in the low to mid 6%'s depending on credit profile.
