It’s just the nature of the beast.

@Alec Barnes As the owner of a property management company in Texas, I completely agree that a solid screening process is essential for placing quality tenants.

In the process of redoing kitchen and bath and sprucing up the yard.

This process is relatively simple and can be completed through a title company or real estate attorney.

And before getting too far along in the process it might be worth doing a title search to check on any potential liens on the property.

When it comes to getting approved for a loan, the process can be a bit more complicated for foreign citizens.

Once you have a deal they will guide you through the process and even help you attain the funding with out coming out of pocket or using your personal credit.

I have a 3-step process I put them through before we actually agree to work together. 

That time I was looking at getting 201 S Washington (a 5 unit rental) and S Washington wasn't designated as STR and Gettysburg City said that I had to go thru the process of applying for zoning licence which is followed by a hearing with the neighbors as the jury who would hand me the verdict - yes/no.I like analyzing markets and observing them for a number of months/years.

If they are not paying rent then go through the eviction process as normal.
