It sounds like you are proceeding with the correct precautions and awareness.  

Explain to tenant you are only sending as a precaution.3) Schedule locksmith for day after scheduled MoveOut.We do NOT recommend doing final walk-thru with tenant present as only leads to them pressuring you not to hold them liable for damages.

It's to bad that relatively small simple deals need legal precaution, but that is just the way it is.

I wanted to get advice on some proper precautions to take.

This makes sense to me as a necessary precaution for any bank to avoid a connected property from turning into a dump. 

As a precaution, I build into my costs to have the septic tank pumped every 2 years (about $150-$200) so this helps with some of the risks. 

Eliminating a few of the other precautions mentioned.

My wife and I are still relatively new to this business, and we want to make sure that we’re taking all of the necessary precautions to protect our best interests.We met this gentleman at a property auction.

Members can also elect to block ANY individual member from sending them a PM (other than mods and admins).We hope that you guys find these changes to be what you're looking for.Those of you who wanted to be able to PM anyone without the colleague request can now do that with a PRO Account, and the rest of the privacy and security precautions should satisfy the rest of us.Thanks everyone!

Can some of you expound on these precautions and potential roadblocks?
