This is why it's so important for owners to do a better job of screening PMCs than screening tenants!

Its got to be better than sitting at a job. 

I think I can do a good enough job of listing it. 

Also, magistrates don't even have to be lawyers to get the job!

By a professional estimate I mean having a contractor bid the work, not just me estimating the jobs. 

My core investing philosophy is pretty simple, and has done very well across almost two decades and numerous cities:1) Invest in cities with population (and job) growth2) Invest in parts of the city where household income is near the median (or slightly below)3) Invest in properties that provide cash flow from day 1 Thank you for sharing that. 

But around here some of the screening services that claim to do background checks do a lousy job of it.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Man you are doing a great job! 

You could post the job description being as detailed as possible.
