I manage quite a few properties in those markets.

I take a picture of their driver's license.I ask for phone numbers that accept texts and any alternate land or business phone numbers.I ask for the names and birth dates of anyone under 18, and ask if there are any service / emotional support animals, together with their names and breeds.I also ask for personal references, previous landlord contact info (and length of time there), employer contact info (and how long there, together with earnings), as well as the name and contact information for their manager / boss.

Here is my method I got that has done me wonders, I used the method from Brandon Turners book on managing properties:1.)

Don’t have the time to do property management right now however as I have a full time W2 (accredited investor) and a family to raise. 

For example one person could manage paperwork and another person could be boots on the ground.

If you have any property management questions, feel free to reach out.

Don't change jobs or income yet.Once you do and you think you can manage the payments based on your new income, maybe once you get the rooms rented.Then if you want to switch there are plenty of opportunities. 

I've purchased a couple of my investment properties directly from property management clients who decided to sell. 

It’s been a while, but I finally managed to get back into the BP forum—great to be here again!

The place where you can add value with no money is a situation like: you find project A, it is a 120k purchase and it should need 80k rehab but you can get rehab done for 65k cause you can do some of the work and you know how to save on materials and you can manage the rehab.
