If your tenant ignores it, that $50 trash can violation will quickly become $3000 with a lein against the home. 

@Matt Fish, I have been involved in a deal that ended up with B2R financing, and the process was pretty smooth, if you ignore some hiccups.

Every real estate agent I try to reach out to just ignores me; it's becoming frustrating.

But the letters didn't look to be required responses, so I ignored it.  

Prior to having potential tenants fill up an application form, I get them to read and acknowledge a copy of my "Tenant Selection Criteria" which specifies all these, so they cannot claim ignorance if I ask for such payments when they are selected.

This is a huge red flag, if you do not see it you will after they move in and this problem can become something big, all because you saw the sign and chose to ignore what it was telling you.If I were you, I would create a policy and procedure manual and write down like you are talking to someone that is going to take over your position.

In this space you want to be more concerned with rental history, ignore that they don't pay a lot of their bills, you are only concerned that they pay your bill (the rent).  

Another consideration that most investors conveniently choose to ignore is that when the send there dollars away to die although they think they are increasing cash flow the ignore the simple necessary calculation of the value of that equity.

If you're doing commercial rather than residential, ignore everything I just said, however.

Agreed, if a wholesaler doesn't search the liens/mortgages owed at least enough to know if the deal can close, in line with seller expectations, they are indeed slackers, ignorant, clueless, all the above.
