Hi All- I have an Army vet who applied to rent my property. How do I go about verifying her income from the VA? I can't seem to find anything on how to do it. An old post had a link but it doesn't work. Thanks! 

We closed few weeks ago and now the PM is screening tenants to place.

Franklin As long as you're looking at things in the long-term, screening your tenants thoroughly, staying engaged as the property management, and are diligent about increasing rents the maximum every year, you should be fine.

They were fairly highly rated, and performed well on my extensive screening interview (we went over an hour).

What mistakes you made in screening and what policies you will put in place (in writing) so you don't make them again.4th - figure out what the next step is and go through it as a dry run.

Indeed, tenant screening is 80% of the secret sauce.Good luck!

Do tenants have the expectation to keep basic screening info from their landlords?

Now we have $100,000 in reserves, control $500,00 in property AND the residents are paying down the $400 while enjoying BBQs and flat screen TVs.

If this were mine I would install the porch screens on the porch, if they are there.
