Also, have the realtor pull you contender properties now and the market rent they command. 

I am looking for people who have been able to user real estate, investments, etc. to gain passive income and are now able to focus on things they really enjoy doing.

If you listen to this podcast by the founder (http://nathanlatka.com/thetop469/), they were paying ~$6000/mo to source their MLS data through ListHub (an MLS partnered company) and had no revenue (only RE-agents who signed up in hopes that investors/users using the site to look at deals would see a property on the site and make an offer on it to an MLS seller's agent--i.e. a referral fee).

Good luck. https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/JasonScott/file/estimating-arv 

It all boils down to who is the "end-user"  In most cases, the property management company is the end user, not the owner/Landlord. 

His lender claims they can do this by adding him as an authorized user to an account in good standing.

We have used Tenant Turner and currently use Rently.  

(with 4 “o”s) to BP for making it a non user friendly format.

typically as others have suggested the 3s and 4s do better for investments, but the 2s tend to be in better locations and command much higher rents per floor, they also get you much better tenants as it is easier to divide up parking and yards etc by 2 then by 3 or 4, also repairs, especially electrical are easier on a 2 as you can get to everything from the attic or basement. 

I LOVE the paid for properties...get rents raised first, if you can, use rents to pay for updates, if not, look at maybe a 50% LTV portfolio loan (talk to banks and find one that will loan against ALL the properties, 1 loan, 1 appraisal and closing etc.
