With one of them, who applied, it ended up with him asking me to prove I owned the property and going over the lease with a fine-toothed comb (after he missed a couple of deadlines to get things back to me, I moved on and denied him).I figured the facts that 1) prospective tenants see the property and can talk with the current tenants to ask about the property and me, and 2) that they have to submit an application and go through a credit and background check, and 3) that I was using Cozy to collect payments and 4) that I am available by phone, email and text whenever they want, would be enough to make people comfortable that they are not getting scammed, but it was apparently not enough for some people.Does anyone have any tips to help prospective tenants feel more comfortable dealing with you from afar and not feeling like they are getting scammed?

It can work in the background for you.  

@Alex Hugo Although technically a master lease (with or without an option) is any lease that has 1 or more subordinate leases.

You could put together an offer on contract where they technically own the house until depreciation ends and then it converts to seller finance and they hold the note.

My RE background is slim, so I've now read approximately 783,594 threads here about structuring PM deals, good practice, what to avoid, etc. 

Also just for the record in Oregon it is NOT illegal to wholesale a house all you are doing is assigning the contract over to someone and your fee is an assignment fee, you are technically only selling the contract most realtors will tell you it's illegal its not they are not aware of the the differences or they will see you as competition .

Hello,Just purchased my first small 6 unit apartment in Ohio, I have 1 vacant unit that I am looking to start showing but I read at somewhere there is a limit to the amount you can charge a tenant on an application fee for background and credit check that is set by the state.

I've been documenting it as income for tax purposes but is it technically a rental property since the loan agreement says its a primary residence? 

My background is in international logistics and I believed I could apply that set of skills to the project management side of flipping  a home.

I just wanted to introduce and give a quick background on myself, as well as say how excited and appreciative I am for having such an immense and deep source of Real Estate Investing knowledge and community all in one place here on BiggerPockets.I'm Alex Little.
