I’ve gotten totally screwed in a good area with one ****** tenant I inherited that on paper was amazing. 5)36 cost me $16k in damage and $7k in rent...The only way to mitigate this is to screen your tenants property and I know this sounds crazy but go with your “gut”.

Hey @Patricia Andriolo-Bull, so it looks like it is right on the left side of the screen of the Market Maker.

If so you can just replace the deadbolt and have make the lever a non-locking type but that looks like a screen door, don't you have a regular door behind it that locks?

Be on point with screenings, but at your age and naivety, you may want to ask your father who he uses as a real estate agent to do the screening for you.We've all been there, and we've all made the rookie mistakes.

Today I got a bill that is 100% more than what I used to pay - my blood was rushing- They increased my building coverage- They changed from "cash value" to "replacement value"These 2 updates that they made cost my portfolio to go double.

Can they send you something in WRITING explaining HOW they will advertise your property, screen applicants and handle maintenance?

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Introducing a new tenant will necessitate an amendment to the existing lease, and you should conduct a thorough screening as you would for any new prospect.

- How do you vet tenants (screening criteria), marketing, tenant portal access set up once approved and moving in, etc.?

A big part of renting to section 8 tenants is screening them.
