@Mark Pedroza RE trainers is awesome - they should give you the background for what you need to go pass on October 11th!

I agree, I think credit, criminal background, and eviction (via TurboTenant) plus verify employment (myself) are what I do.

***********s also does background checks and has leases.

I could really use a bit of advise here, I'll keep it short and skip the background story.I bought a condo ~4 years ago and hired a property management company to take care of it.

I do have background in the RE and constantly continue my education in the field daily.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------On the front I'll put:[BACKGROUND]:picture of house and a picture of a hand holding hundred dollar bills[HEADER]:We Buy Houses For CA$H!

Background: I got into real estate after finding myself homeless having been laid off of my job at a religious organization serving people, (I left my corporate career to do so and made less than $9,000 per year). 

I do have a background in building and remodeling so there is a chance that if we get far enough into this and can generate enough income, I may do this full time.  

The background story.

the biggest issues are that the available tenant base drops dramatically around October and doesn't pick up again till the end of the school year.People are no different than animals in that regard.They want to be settled and hunkered down in a property before the school year and/or bad weather starts.Quality tenants with good financial backgrounds don't want to move their families in the middle of an icy,snowy winter for obvious reasons,and good college students have already started school in August.Many of the few available tenants will have questionable backgrounds like recent job loss,previous eviction,bad credit,difficult income verification and don't make 3 times the rent,criminal records,etc.
