@Joe Villeneuve thats redicuous. I  don't read detroit papers. Ive lived in Detroit,  my mom was a nurse there, my father was a cop there. Thats always the answer people give when someone tells the truth about detroit "You should do more than read the papers". ::rolls eyes::

And the neighborhood. Detroit is a war zone.

Sounds like a bad idea. Too much can go wrong, plus meeting the applicant in person is one of the ways you screen tenants.

Thanks a ton @Kyle J.

No idea, but you know how it goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Good to see members form officially licensed universities pointing out that Trump misuses the term and won't suffer the same fate as the Donald. From http://www.factcheck.org/2016/03/trumps-defense-of-his-university/

Trump and his “university,” which was never officially licensed as such and eventually had to change its name to The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative in May 2010, are the subjects of three ongoing lawsuits alleging fraud...

 Factcheck.org is a liberal site.

Unlikely. It can involve repainting, replacing blinds and carpets, filters. And lots of cleaning.

Thats not really a scam, a scam is intentionally misleading someone. You not contesting your property taxes, isn't really anyones fault but your own.

When a tenant is denied due to a credit report, you have to send them a notification and the name and address of the company so they can view and dispute the report right? When using mysmartmove.com, what address do you use?
