Very polite, proactive in the application process, had good references from previous landlord, has good/stable employment, and when I looked them up on Facebook their information matched everything on their application.Unfortunately, they are not able to complete the screening due to a complete lack of credit history (young applicant with no credit cards or, evidently, student loans).

You need to fix it up and price it to match your market.

I know list source pulls from public records and I am sure they have a huge stuff scrubbing and matching criteria but how and where do they get the raw data from?

And you'd better hope to heaven the count coming out matches to the penny!

If the property doesn't match that, then you move to the next prospect.

Simple.But if you're looking for private investors to match the banks (i.e.- no equity and cheap money) then that is not going to happen.

you might:1. replace balusters with  bronze balusters to match bronze windows.

For now, the tenants need to know, on the day of close, where to mail their rent (or update their auto-pay), how to make out the check (matches the new bank account) and who will be the property manager, with the contact phone numbers of the property management office or person.

While I don't think a 401K is a necessity, there are benefits to having one especially if the employer matches your funds.

In my experience, it is an excellent tool for tracking incoming calls and being able to match the marketing that generated that call (i.e. a different number for different mailings, etc.) but I always found it to be cumbersome to make outgoing calls from, considering a cell phone is pretty simple to use.
