Maxwell,

Glad you've decided to take a look REI! I work with many other investors to achieve their financial goal through real estate.

If she is behind on her mortgage what makes you think she will pay rent? There is potentially money to be made there. Will need to get more info to see the value

With a good long term tenant be careful about raising rents too much. If there is a turnover always push for higher rent. You can always negotiate back to your previous numbers.

Keep it all as one. Hard to evict someone for not paying their pet fee. And you know that is the first "bill" they will skip on

Rehabbing properties is in my opinion the best way to earn positive cash flow and build equity. Value add is my number one priority with investment properties

I use this template. 

Thank you for your interest in our property. I hope to show it to you soon. To better understand if you qualify with VSM Real Estate rental requirements, I need to ask you a few questions...

1) What is your desired move in date?

2) What is the combined monthly income of any person(s) that will be living in the home (net?). We require that the household income exceeds 3x the monthly rent.

3) Do you know your credit score? We are looking for tenants with good credit but are open to many situations.

4) How many total occupants will there be living in the house? How many people 18 or older?

5) Any pets, how many and what type/breed, and size?

6) Do you or any future occupants have a felony, unlawful detainer or eviction on their record?

7) What are the best days/times for you to view the property?

We will be in contact soon

Thank you!

I ask that everyone responds through email. This way you can search through emails for specific address. Mark emails as unread to respond to later. And will be the best way to to keep yourself organized.
