@George Kountoupis - if you hover your mouse over their name in a post, you will see a box appear. 

I know when my staff gets going I simply say put down the mouse and pick up the phone and call that person you guys are all out to lunch..

Those alerts can also be seen if you mouse over the "Inbox" on the upper right menu bar and scroll down.For solid rental screening BP recommends MySmartMove.com.

I like the inspections angle to curb it, but the tenants and occupants may play cat and mouse some, correcting the problem when given a notice or in time for the inspections.

.- 1 cash for keys (basically a cheaper alternative to eviction), this was a professional tenant for whom this was a plan from the beginning- 1 drug addict who left voluntarily for fear of having her voucher taken away (lots of property damage and 2 broken windows from when one of her friends overdosed on something)- 1 lady who illegally sublet my apartment to a drug dealer (there was an FBI raid in that apartment about 3 months after she moved)- 1 "handyman" tenant who never had money to pay his share of rent but always volunteered to do repairs, most of his repairs ended up being temporary mickey-mouse repairs that ended up costing me more in the end, in the end he and his wife left with almost $4000 in unpaid back rent- 1 lady who always had sketchy visitors over including a "friend" who supposedly had a slip and fall accident on my porch and is still suing my insurance company over it- Almost tenant threw a tantrum because I asked for a co-signer since security deposit was not coming from her own funds, she complained to MCAD (Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination) because I supposedly discriminated against her by asking for a co-signer when I wouldn't have asked for one if the security deposit came out of her own funds.

It would be a challenge for most brokers to do this for you at your price point as off-market sellers have plenty of research available with a few clicks of the mouse to determine what values are, and brokers have an obligation to inform sellers as to the market and value and present them with options.

I also encourage you to think about amenities that are intentional and thoughtful, like a desk or work station, a small fitness area with a yoga mat, a "library" or bookshelf with reading options, or blending outdoor/indoor living spaces where possible (of course, if your unit allows it).

And yes there will be more drama like, significant others "stopping" by and not living there, smoking not just cigarettes, drinking to get drunk, and the occasional I have mouse so call an exterminator now complaint.

The fastest way, is to buy the 1099 package from Staples, OfficeMax, OfficeDepot etc.If you use QuickBooks it can fill them out for you with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Wecome mat, towels, shower curtain, etc.
