Hello

I am new to this site, however not new to real estate (18 years and counting).  I currently own, manage, some real estate as well run a note brokerage firm (we purchase mortgages, contract for deeds and other types of notes both performing and non-performing).  

I Look forward to sharing my experiences as well as learning from others. For example here is a tip I learned from a experienced landlord as I was just getting into rentals.  When interviewing a perspective tenant do a home inspection and check the inside of their fridge (most perspective tenants who know you are doing a home inspection will clean the place up, however will not to think of cleaning their fridge).  If their fridge is clean and no mold is growing, you will have a tenant that will usually pay on time and not tear your place up. :)
