I am practicing my financial modeling skills and reading up about real estate. 

It seems counter-intuitive and may be counter-intuitive, but if you think about building a scalable business model, this is one way to force that.

Also, when setting up a tenant, you can setup "custom fields" for their driver license #, SSN, vehicle model, move in / move out dates, etc. then generate a report with all that info.

I would check out the Assist2Sell business model maybe?

Hopefully there are reliable models that keep this sort of stuff to a minimum.

It just sucks to pay 3% buyers agent commission for an antiquated and an inflated commission model, and the 6% when two agents are involved is ridiculous, 6% of the price of the house can be 20-30% of the equity. 

They have way more expertise in being landlords and i will be asking for their help when i run into issues since i know they have been there done that.

Like it or not, this is a common model for this type of REI education.  

Clearly this in depth of a report takes time and expertise which is why it is an excellent idea to consult a consumer reporting agency (CRA) that specializes in background screening.
