I listed a townhome for rent in my very tight rental market on Monday and I've received well over 100 inquiries. 

Just making that first inquiry on zillow asking for a rent roll, seller disclosure and owner expenses turned out to be the push I needed to make the jump from analysis paralysis to making my first investment purchase (I already had 2 single family homes I lived in then rented out after moving).

I am still getting a few inquiries for this property and do not want to completely ignore them just incase the applicants I chose do not end up signing the lease.

My apartment of 3 bed 2ba had at most 3 tenants so far,lately I have been getting inquiries from tenants with 5 occupants.

The law is clear on this point--you must make all appropriate inquiry to invoke the innocent landowner defense.

Feel free to reach out for further inquiry or discussion!

It gets you started, because you won't want to waste that credit inquiry and go through the work, only to never submit an offer on something, and secondly, you will have one less barrier in your way when you DO see something that you want to place an offer on.

During the time when pile driving was happening and the noise & shaking was particularly problematic, we included the warning in our initial response to instant bookings or inquiries and we gave the instant bookers a 48 hour cancellation grace period.No photos and no emphasizing the problem in the general description of the property but highlighting the issues after the guest has been hooked did the trick.And one other thing...

You should see the inquiry “letter” I got from a couple women calling themelves property managers at K-W looking for my feedback on applicant moving out of my rental.
