Post: Screening tenants & setting up a hassle free lease

I do open houses. Pick a day and time that you are going to be able to show the property and tell everyone who is inquiring about the rental to show up on the same day and time convenient for you. Tell them to bring copies of their two most recent pay stubs and give out applications on the spot. Don't run apps until the fee is paid. The open house incentivizes prospective tenants to act in a timely fashion because they see other people are interested. Seeing the pay stubs gives you the information you need upfront to make an informed decision. Craigslist and Hot Pads are the marketing websites that I use. National Tenant Network is the company I use for background checks. I hope this helps.

Good afternoon,

I am currently on the market to buy a house with cash. I want to use refinancing the property as one of my exit strategies. I am currently in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market and was wondering if anyone knew of any lenders that has a refinance seasoning period less than 6 months?

I think there is an issue because I tried to join at 7:02 eastern and there was a message that the webinar had expired. How do you join online? I received the text message and link there, but is there anywhere on the site to join the webinar?

@Ryan Dosseythere is no language in the agreement of sale stating that I can't assign the contract. But what do i do from here?

@Allende HernandezI know 2K isn't much, but for a couple hours work it isn't bad. My seller has family members living in the property and wants to give them 30 days to move out. Therefore, I still can't do a quick close.

Thanks for the tip @Lance Wakefield. I'll check them out now. But what do I have the buyer sign?

Hello everyone,

I have a house under an agreement of sale contract for $33,000. I was going to purchase it but now I have a buyer for the property for $35,000. The original contract is an agreement of sale and not an assignment contract. I want to take the additional $2,000 and split it with the seller (Owner gets $34,000 and I get $1,000). My buyer is ready to purchase the property, but I don't have a wholesale contract with the seller. What is the best strategy from here? Thanks in advance!
