Because this suggestion would get a laugh from me.

Note: I am aware of online applications like cozy that makes sure they fill out and pay their background/credit check but the applications for those types of software doesn't cover everything I want to ask and Brandon suggested paper applications is the way to go so it being my first rental I'll follow his advice on that but I just need a robust way of doing it.3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am open to any ideas and/or suggestions!

I'd suggest that you start reading, listening to BP blogs and Podcasts.

Here's what I suggest:1.

I would suggest you to try PeerStreet.

@Rita Lo I suggest going to a tax and/or foreclosure sale just to watch and observe.

As @Josh Stanley suggested I have made adjustments for BRRRR deals and lowered the Refinance loan amount in order to improve cash flow to an acceptable minimum.  

The closes you can be passive with MFR is, like @Theo Hicks suggested Syndication or partnerships.

@Brandon Crouse, I highly suggest coming to the Olympia REI meetings at Ramblin Jacks.
