Also there are probably paid options that pull public records like landglide, propradar etc, or try your local title company rep. 

Welcome to BP, sounds like you have a great track record and future!

Public records have information on every sale in your area.

I would have saved few thousand dollars in inspection fees and appraisal fees if I had known that and I had a friend send me detailed videos.I'm not sure if this information is available in all counties but where I bought in the Indianapolis metro area, I can look up property tax records.

Quote from @Stephanie Cruz: You do not need to send them anything for a verbal pre-screening.

The Ohio Division has no records of anyone named Prisco being licensed.

As long as you are screening the tenants/animals well and conducting inspections, I think you'll be fine.

The heavy cleaning and repair costs after longer stays are definitely pain points but I've seen my clients make it work by screening the tenants more carefully for MTRs, doing bi-monthly checks to catch issues early, and writing clear lease terms about maintaining the property.

It's a great way to learn in real life and off the screen.

Our renters were great, emphasizing tenant screening process, and returned the home in great condition.
