There is a $35.00 Non refundable background check that the applicant needs to pay to smartmove.Look at the ID of the person when they get to the property,.......and make sure it matches the person.....A quick tip on showing......and setting rental prices.......Do a "soft advertisement on Craigslist with all the info.....but without the actual address.....just the name of the street.....see if you get lots of responses quickly.......if you do......that means you need to take the ad down for a couple days and then re advertise it at a higher price..............I advertise on CL and when the phone rings.....Do NOT ANSWER.............let people leave voicemail .....you want to see if when they leave a message they sound like someone that you may feel comfortable talking with on a daily basis......And DO NOT DO OPEN HOUSES..............What you need to do is when the first person you talk to that you get a good vibe with expresses an interest in seeing the house......you tell them I'm showing it Saturday at 10am and Sunday at 3pm...........then be quiet.....they will pick a time.......and you repeat that process with everyone that calls and make sure it at or around the same time slot as everyone else.....Don't tell them other people will be there also......When they do show up and they see other people there also.....it creates more of a demand for the room :-)   Also...pick a time that is withinn 24 hours of talkin with the person....if you talk with them Monday afternoon....tell them you are showing it tonight at 7 and tommorow at 6.        

These jokers are really just Instagram “influencers” hawking poorly written books and seminars - they don’t know what they’re doing.

@Jonathan S. lots of people are making assumptions that he will be trouble down the road, which is possible but not guaranteed.

i think these jokers in the city aren't actually trying to get any work done.  

I wasn't going to be the joker that took a bunch of classes and never did anything with the information.

I will take the contrarian view here... this is an owner occupied purchase correct and your using one of your mortgage slots to buy a 3 unit..

:joker:

I agree with Matt and Dana that playing the appreciation game is more like playing the slots, so I've decided to ignore this as a factor in my buy decision.

Yes, you should even touch on options, rights of first refusal, leases, required disclosures and what rights are actually conveyed under different types of transactions.Like I said, at least 70% of every question asked here can be answered from these basic areas of RE.That is what you get with a real RE education, knowledge that, by a prudent person and more than a half-wit can apply in any type of RE transaction that gives you the real advantage over clowns to your left and jokers to your right.It is absolutely not about access to the "secret" side of the MLS!

The almost year I spent learning and gathering information, "Gurus" and "Get rich now" systems were common and I always thought to myself "Why would someone throw away a winning powerball ticket to go play the slot machine?"
