"Helping others" is what prompted my response.  

That doesn't mean you are necessarily going to kick them out, but they need to know that if rent is late, you're calling to ask about it, sending them a demand letter, and promptly filing an eviction.  

hi Travis,Thanks for your prompt reply.

@Carlos AppezattoThe example of what to ask a prospective caller I gave was just a blanket example, you need to set your own criteria but the basic of pre screening applicants is " you just gave them the minimum" that you would even consider meeting with them to show the unit.The other posters have given good tips and I think one thing you could do is have someone "Shop" your realtor.. act like a prospective tenant to call or contact, and see how long it takes for a reply, how enthusiastic the person is to meet and show the unit.. and how quickly they can get an appointment.In the rental business we were shopped occasionally even by our own property owners, so we were prompt with calls, gave fair and equal treatment to applicants, and were good sellers of our units for the owners.. in fact their are businesses out there that hire people to shop apartments just for this purpose.

Appreciate it the prompt reply @Levi T.

@Guy GimenezHere is a media articleAUSTIN — Home mortgage scams in El Paso and Austin have prompted three senators to propose legislation to curb the abuse and protect homeowners.Senators Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo), Kirk Watson (D-Austin), and José Rodríguez (D-El Paso) today filed several bills to address “wraparound” home mortgage scams, which leave homeowners at the mercy of a middleman who may or may not keep up with the mortgage payments.In one particularly egregious case in El Paso, a wrap scammer absconded with nearly $2 million from 200 families before the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending was able to intervene.

Communication should be prompt and clear, you should be able to ask specific, detailed questions and get timely, data-backed answers.

Hi everyone,I am a senior in university and my final semester requires us to write a thesis type paper (research paper with "significant original contribution" to the topic) and so I was hoping to spend this time researching and building on a topic that we all enjoy, real estate development/transformation.The requirements are really open-ended so I was wondering if anyone here might have some interesting ideas/prompts/questions to write about in the subject of real estate development/transformation.

I showed up promptly 30 minutes late.

I appealed to Google via their appeals process and they promptly reinstated my account.
