If they live at a single family house, you can try to drive by and check front and backyard also.

Check those out first.

I want them to notify me if they will be absent for an extended period of time so that the property is not seen as abandoned by anyone looking to do a crime, and so that I could check on it.

One of the best resources I’ve spotted for honest property management feedback-beyond scanning Google-is checking local Facebook investor groups and seeing who people recommend.Anyway, Ethan, since you’ve done a bunch of data crunching: have you or anyone else revisited these numbers more recently, and if so, how have shifting mortgage rates or local employment trends changed your approach?

The result for a background check using Zillow Rental Property Manager's site came back with a result of "N/A".

I'd recommend checking out the Midwest market.

No pictures.One property we spot check because we are only an hour away.If we find issues or get cleaning complaints they are going to do better or we get a new cleaner.

Need to be sure you include the "unknown budget" and never take the optimistic approach as it is better to have money left at the end than writing more and more checks that were unplanned for.Again, if you can walk through an actual property and compare notes with someone that does it in your area (key factor), you will be way ahead of what a generic book can give you.

I have no idea.Never even thought of it.I'll check it out in Oregon.

And if someone clicks to schedule a showing it has a form to capture there information that goes into a crm that then starts a "prospect tenant" followup campaign including response text instantly to interrupt there search knowing we got there request and check there e-mail where we send followup information, links, directions etc etc.
