I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

If anyone needs a boots on the ground inspector to do walkthroughs or gather info for a property you don't have time to check out or if you're out of state.

You can also check out a group on Facebook with other investor like your self called Yellowbird.

Attend in person, bid, if you win you have to pay right then via a cashiers check.

I was looking at DSCR loans because they don't require extensive checks like the bank loans and they "only" look at the income generated from the property to qualify for the loan.

I would say only 1/2 would make it thru their quality check for size and color.  

Will look to refi next year and get all our cash back (have 1 year left on generous seller financing)Failure: still battling a tenant eviction industrial property, costing me money (I can afford) but time and my energy (not a great use)A ha moment: just to focus on higher equity slugs into fewer deals, the law firm is #1 for me2025 goal: complete exit, closing Jan 9, keep making offers, grow the law firm with less billables

Be sure to: call & verify employment references, request pay stubs to confirm income & check rental history by contacting the previous landlords.Keep the momentum going!

You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?

Once they have seen the property and are interested, the prequalification and background checks will do the rest of the work in weeding out undesirable tenants for you.
