There are other avenues to review but I agree past rental history is important (disclosure I have 15+ doors right now)If you feel bad for them then rent to them.My point is its corporate america and you are blaming the wrong person - you are blaming the corporation but you should be blaming the politicians who create an environment that is tenant friendly and sue happy. 

Get a 7-10 inspection period to check everything out on the inside of the units but also make sure to get the leases to review during your inspection period. 

Hi I am looking at a few properties around Jefferson Street and have heard mixed reviews.

Guests provide reviews that noise transmission is high and privacy is low. 

We would need to review your scenario more in depth to see what is the best option for an 80% rate and term using DSCR. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I had to review and argue expenses almost monthly on my financials.  

I'm not one to write reviews but for some it's worth it.

@Ian Ippolito  you may want to get on Ian's mailing list  he is wicked smart and does very deep dive's into crowd funding and other syndicated investments then writes reviews on them..
