@Michael Celona Thanks for the recommendation Michael.  I actually interviewed a Property Mgt company called Realty Solutions out of Audubon, NJ.  They seemed to be very professional.  They charge 1 months rent for tenant placement, a 9% monthly fee, they do not add any additional fees if they need to send a contractor out for repair, and they also have an RE attorney as part of their team who would handle evictions in they event one was needed.  When I interviewed them they said that you can use their services al la carte.  So if the landlord wants to place the tenant themselves they can, and if the tenant wants to use their own contractor(s) they can, etc.  They seem to be very good.  

I will def give SureWay a call as well and I'll make sure to let them know that you and Steph recommended them.  Thanks Michael!

Hey Jack,

I also am from the South Jersey area and am also fairly new to real estate investing.  I currently own 2 rental properties in Sicklerville.  Feel free to reach out if you ever want to discuss any of our local markets or anything else regarding RE investing.  Best of Luck!

Hi All,

I currently own two rental properties in South Jersey which I self manage.  I am looking to expand my portfolio and purchase more rental properties, however, my goal is to make my portfolio more passive income rather than self managing.  Can anyone suggest any good property management companies that service the South Jersey (Camden County) area.  

Thanks for the advice Emily C.!  I am currently using NTN however I'm not sure if I like it because it does not give you their actual credit score.  They give you their own score (0 - 100) based on their recommendation.  

Does Transunion smartmove have any options for running criminal background checks and rental history?

Hi everyone!  I'm a new real estate investor from NJ (buy and hold).  I have recently purchased my first property and I'm in the process of screening tenants.  Any advice / tips would be greatly appreciated.  Thank!
