@Leon Li Had you seen the property before hand or had a look at the area it’s in? I probably wouldn’t classify this are as B B- I’d be very surprised if you were able to get $1300/mo

@Leon Li Where in Wisconsin is your property?

These have both come back positive and within the qualification standard.

Would it be appropriate to express concern about income and request a W2?

Hi All,

I'm going through the process of screening rental applications. Two applicants want to move in together - The first applicant is from 2  a pool technician (3,000/mo) and second applicant is currently attending grad school, is a waiter ($1,000/mo) and a golf caddie ($2,000/mo).

My question is, although Applicant 1 and Applicant 2 may be making  enough to contribute to requirement of 3 x rent/mo during summer (Rent is $1,500 for a 2 bedroom so would need $4,500 between 2 people), how does one ensure that they will have enough money during fall-winter to contribute to rent.  How do I address these concerns with the applicants?

At this time, I have not contacted employers as I only receive application today.  

They are wanting a new color. It’s a neutral color. 

Just wanted a general consensus on what people think about this situation. 

I have a tenant who signed a 2 year lease. Paint was fine at move in. A couple of nail holes in the wall. 

My tenant calls me one day and has repaired  the nail holes and took it upon themselves to paint using a can of paint in the basement. Turns out it’s the wrong color. 

Now, they’re wanting to re-paint the room with them providing labor, materials and me reimbursing for the paint ($75). 

They are also treating it as if it’s an urgent matter that needs to be attended to ASAP. 

Currently, I’m of the mind that this is not my responsibility as the paint was fine upon move in. 

What are your thoughts and how would you proceed? 

Hi all! I'm looking for recommendations on a property manager for a SFH in the Tacoma area. We're currently out of state so need someone who is trustworthy and responsive! Thank you

Your realtor should be able to recommend a mortgage broker that can help you.

Hi all! I've been really immersing myself in the forums and literature available on BP. One thing I'm focusing on right now is tax minimization. I read the BP book on tax strategies for the savvy real estate investor which really got me thinking! I'm interested in going back to school for my Accounting Associates...in lieu of that my question is HOW can I claim these expenses on tax?
