@Noe Alonzo Nesmith Jr are you going to be buying Class A, B, C or D rentals?

I also leverage a tool called Intellihost which helps with pricing strategy and conduct A/B Testing with listing changes.The listing description seems to be just a paragraph.

By the way AB 2533 (Carrillo) – Unpermitted ADUs extends the protection of existing (not newly built) unpermitted safe units of SB13.  

All an agent should do for you is list the property to generate showings => to generate applications, that YOU then screen.Now, they may actually be asking you want screening criteria you want them to advertise, which is fine.Can't answer your question though, without knowing if this is a Class A, B, C or D property - as they will all have different criteria.Here's a sample of some of what we use in our Metro Detroit market:Class A Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

I can show you top class A, B, and C markets if you have interest. 

Analyze that and you should be able to see pricing tiers that will correspond to Class A, B, C & D areas.

I'm in southern AB.

I'd rather have a solid C that is in a clear C neighborhood and will stay that way than a B that could slide into a C or D erasing my equity value. 

To invest, choose A/B class neighborhoods, target properties within 15-20 minutes of major hospitals, budget for professional cleaning, and consider financing loans or lines of credit.Good luck!

Quote from @Billy Smith: Having all or most of your rentals paid off is a great feeling with the cash flow rolling in .You know have a bigger shovel to buy more properties , folks get the fever want more more dam the debt full speed ahead .I read a lot saying what  is the rate of the  note ,you could deploy the money in  ,gold ,stocks etc....With just a couple rentals paid off in A -B area I put my kids though Division 1 state college.
