That's my actual cell number.

So, if MTR are really LTR, then we have a large inconsistency with marketing channels.Secondly, “normal” LTR residential property leases run 12,24 or 36 months.  

Definitely agree with you—chasing lease renewals and tracking maintenance gets messy fast without a system.Here are my top 3 pain points:Late or inconsistent rent payments – Especially when tenants pay by check or want to pay in non-digital ways.

Otherwise don’t list your house before you leave town for 4 days if you can’t be bothered to buy a cell phone. 

Relying on these calls opens you up to inconsistent decision-making, and can even create risks around Fair Housing or discrimination claims.Instead of relying too much on rental verifications, I'd recommend focusing more on verifiable facts through a complete screening report that includes:🔹 Credit Report – Reviews overall financial responsibility, payment patterns, and open accounts.🔹 Judgments & Liens Search – Identifies court judgments or unpaid debts that no longer show up on traditional credit reports.🔹 Nationwide Eviction Search – Flags any prior evictions that may not have been disclosed or mentioned during a landlord call.🔹 Nationwide Criminal and Sex Offender Search – Provides a broader view of any criminal background or offenses across multiple states.🔹 Income Verification Report – Pulls actual deposit data directly from the applicant’s bank account history to confirm real income (much better than chasing pay stubs or letters that could be manipulated).By leaning more on verified, factual data instead of subjective rental references, you can make safer, more consistent decisions while protecting yourself against claims of unfair screening practices.

I have 30k saved from inconsistent income, and will potentially be able to cosign with parents who have a strong credit score (+800) and can help with the down payment.

Make sure you're deducting everything...mileage, tools, subs, cell phone, home office, interest, even meals and travel if they're business related. 

It is a good and positive perspective that you mention around the inspections, as most just complain about the inconsistencies from one inspector to the next and the inspection fees that come when they send a person out.

While there can be upside depending on the area, I’ve seen many owners end up unhappy due to frequent turnover, inconsistent income, and difficulty finding quality, respectful guests.Personally, I tend to recommend longer-term rentals for their stability and more predictable cash flow, especially in a market like Charlotte where demand for long-term housing remains strong.

It seems like a fun toy, but it isn't Artificial "Intelligence" until it can avoid giving bad information, too.I'm sure you also realize that the more you rely on machines to think for you, the more brain cells you lose. ;-)Oh wow — what a refreshing take straight out of 1998!
