We've added a new safety precaution for those who click the link in our emails to double confirm.

I inform my seller that I may not be the one closing on the property & I use it as an extra precaution.

the mortgage company has an insurable interest in the property, because you are not taking precautions to protect their investment, they can. and they can tack it onto your bill.

Just as you would for a regular tenant, it is necessary to screen section 8 tenants (even more so in my opinion).You are ultimately responsible for your business and as such, you should take the necessary precautions and steps to reduce potentially problematic tenants.

Clean owner financing occurs when the owner has clear deed to the property.What are the precautions to owner financing when the owner still has a mortgage on the property?

I am wondering on how to proceed with renting the condo, If I consider renting the house to this tenant what precautions should I take.

Documenting and pushing concerns raised over health and safety issues is also a classic leverage-move played by scam artist tenants.I'm not saying the tenant's concern is unfounded, but tenants asking for over-the-top precautions is going to add substantially to your costs and timeline.    

The last thing I want on my conscious is a tenant getting hurt because I did not take the proper precautions to secure the property.

So even with taking these precautions remote showings come with a certain amount of risk (they could send you bunk info, text somebody else's ID, wear a ski mask, spray paint your cameras, leave a window open to come in later, etc). 

I know that it takes more precautions especially when it comes to using other people’s money.
