I actually have my first tenant that passed pre-screening and am touring them the property Friday... fingers crossed!

OCF inherited these tenants from the previous owner and I hope that their own screening process helps minimize future instances like this.

I would think this would play a role in your vacancies and retention for tenants as long as they are screened correctly especially in south AL!

Ask for the application and screening reports like the credit report, background check and application.Check the property conditions - ask to see a copy of the lead certificate, rental license and rental inspection.

I, too, aim to be as accommodating to residents as possible.However...For my own liability protection and personal sanity, I'll only schedule our group viewings for when the resident can be physically present.For one thing, I'm a digital nomad (currently living in Colombia), so I'm likely never going to be conducting their viewing myself.But mostly, I don't want a resident claiming that some priceless heirloom went missing or got damaged after holding a showing in their absence.We'll pick a convenient time, typically 1 hour on a Saturday afternoon, and set appointments for up to 6 pre-screened buyers to take a look.

Is it worth taking the time and money to get them out, spending the money to prep the house for a new tenant screening a new tenant

Bring something to this deal such as a big screen TV for the living room, or offer to do the daily vacuuming or something you're capable of.

Hi all, I'm looking to open my tenant pool to all kinds of MTR tenants, but I'm curious as to how to screen tenants received through an insurance claims contract?

As I learned more, I understood that screening was not a fixed process, but one that needed to be improved all the time.It wasn't just one person who had to deal with problems when underwriting deals.
