ask them to confirm they understand your policies (no parties, no extra guests that aren't included in the reservation, etc.) before accepting their reservation request. 

Yet investors expect a PMC to do all this extra followup for free because they think the program is "gold".We've always accepted S8 tenants and have no plans to stop.It's a decent program if the investor understands the limitations and challenges.Otherwise, it's "fool's gold".

One thing I will say there is a shortage of is properties that accept a pet (single pet, ie 1 dog)You will see a lot of manufactured housing on this corridor, but there are some older homes needing updates since the parent or grandparent had just passed (just toured a great one that sold for $219k in a week (cash) that was massive but my buyer was afraid of the work & it was easy fix and flip)As I mentioned below, I'm very curious to your style-what makes the right deal for you?

I would be very careful about accepting advice from anyone that could personally benefit.Listen to David Greene Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, etc.

That means that if you are a landlord of lower end rental you will be accepting that applicant with felony convictions, bad credit, and evictions!

Lastly, if he ends up failing to pay rent and is one month behind on rent, do I make him pay both months together as one payment or accept 2 different payments (one for each month)?

You now don't seem like the type of person most of us would accept a recommendation from.

If they're serious, I encourage them to send me the request which I accept (after I've also made our House Rules clear).

Also keep in mind, terms other than price will play a role in getting you offer accepted too.

Prices haven't fallen, and rents haven't moved up enough.Investors either need to work harder, be more creative, accept negative cash flow, or sit on the sidelines.
