I have seen signs on telephone polls here in Pittsburgh that say " We buy houses", is there another resource that you can use to find people who are interested in buying?

Our screening process is three fold:  Telephone screening & interview; On site showing & conversation; Written application & background checks. 

That being said, I think the confusion may be in the way the law reads, which states that you (as the owner) are required to disclose your "name, telephone number, and usual street address where personal service may be effected" in your rental agreement or lease.

Go to the BP Resources tab, select: File Place, Other Documents, Tenant Screening/Interview and you can download our telephone screening questions.

jimmy, i think you are on the right track, but be careful hiring what you assume is the best management company...the properties i've been looking at are class C and D properties that should cashflow well but have tons of ridiculous expenses that should only be associated with the class A complexes...it seems owners have a few 'black sheep' complexes in their huge portfolios that they don't watch too well, and they use the same company for all of their holdings....this creates a system where you're spending 600/month on a telephone answering service, 500/month for advertising in the wrong magazines, and 3,000 on a holiday xmas party, etc. when it's not necessary or justified by the lower rents. marc, are you saying it can be done that i start a 2nd company and hire my own manager and save money and also have more control over the property?

The second is asking to provide their telephone number and the third is to provide their employment number. 

I was provided the tenant leases with telephone numbers by my lawyer's office.

They will most likely start screening you from the moment you contact them... so presenting yourself well from the initial inquiry, to the telephone interview, to the first face-to-face meeting is critical.
