Check potential properties well, including inspections, financial checks, tenant screening, and local rules.

While you're out in the field make notes of properties you like that aren't being maintained - look for high grass and weeds, broken windows or unshoveled snow in the winter.

etc find out where they are coming in, put in better screens to stop them from coming in. 

Quote from @Andre Hammond: We used doorloop. pros: nice site and set up, easy for you to use to screen tenants.Downside: if your tenants nsf you eat the bill especially if they aren’t making the payment next month.They use a 3rd party for payments so if you get disputes against you.

Now that the restraining order has been lifted, she is still a leaseholder and is entitled to enter the property to collect her belongings.Make sure to give adequate notice to the remaining tenant and conduct a thorough screening process.

The 12 months of prepaid rent has nothing to do with your screening/leasing policy.

Quote from @Andrea Miller: Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen, and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

Because of this, extra diligence is tenant screening is highly warranted for the investor's success.

I am handy and I could handle the finances, website, screening etc. but I would need to hire contractors for some things of course.

I watched a YouTube video recently(my watch history was off, smh) and I accidentally backed out of the screen and lost the clip.
