On paper it looks good, but in a real life scenario projections might be different:-the third R, refinance could be possible if good credit and debt to income ratio are satisfactory...since many aspiring investors are far from that, what are the alternatives?

I'll add a wrinkle to the park money in a home vs. a REIT (or any other paper asset).One thing you need to consider is your investment timeline, risk tolerance, and current asset diversification.

Then I realized that each paper threatening eviction had clear instructions to buy from a specific company if they didn't have proof of insurance.

Or commercial printers rigging the paper cutter safety switch to free up one hand so they can work a bit faster.

If you wish to unilaterally pull credit (with a paper authorization) I believe you will need to get a site inspection and jump through a few hoops at your business.  

Go over and meet him with  paper work to sign if he will not sign a new lease advice him he has 30 days to move out  .Not responding to your attempt to reach out is rude not  a smart move on his side .

Especially since I'm paying 1700 now in rent (Just thinking on paper here).

When using the fireplace, Tenant agrees to:a.not leave burning materials unattended.b.keep all burnable objects at a safe distance from flame or surround.c.make appropriate use of fireplace damper and spark screen, so as not to allow smoke to flow into the room or sparks to fly out of the fireplace.d.use only seasoned firewood or manufactured logs in the fireplace.e.not burn paper, plastics or other materials.f.keep fireplace clean of ashes.g.dispose of ashes in a safe manner by waiting until ashes completely cool and by placing them in a metal container prior to disposal.

And, ya, as a landlord this means you go-to lender might be willing to help you avoid the $25 credit pull fee you charge potential tenants if you wish (it'll be an auth form they sign instead of a $25 check they write).Something that's also a nice bonus with this: If you meet a lender that "can't" give you a quote or any information based on reading a credit report without actually pulling it, that means you've found a dummy that doesn't know how to function without his software, and thus can eliminate him from your pool of potential lenders right off the bat because she or he ALSO isn't going to be able to handle your "I own 5 investment properties, 3 are in an LLC" scenario (mortgage software mostly kind of sucks at these deals, and frequently needs to have the human override bat swung at it... which means you need to be able to do it with a pen/paper/calculator or you shouldn't be doing it at all).

I'm talking people who can't be bothered to put out the dog and have such low standards that they are okay with a room being the dog's toilet.
