Make sure to thoroughly review the reports, including eviction history and criminal records, to protect your investment.

I believe I still have his contact information in my records.

I too, live in Delaware (Wilmington) and work in the financial services industry. 

Just a lot of systems, paperwork organization, and staying abreast of/within the law (required notices, addendums, etc.).3) The screening criteria we use:650 credit score or aboveIncome 3x the monthly rentNo pets (depending on the property)No smokingNo evictions, notices to comply, or money owed to landlords in the past 12 monthsProof of income and financial responsibilityAdditional:First, last, and security deposit due at signing750+ credit score does not require last month rent (helps incentivize quality tenants)Best of luck!

In Austin, I know Horizon Bank has been open to more creative financing strategies too, so it’s worth checking with them.One thing to keep in mind is that the terms can vary wildly depending on the institution, so I always recommend reaching out to a financial advisor who’s well-versed in life insurance-backed loans before pulling the trigger.

I have looked on propstream to find some multifamilies in my area and plan on going to the courthouse to get eviction records.

Because of this, they have changed their fee structure on me two times in the past two years2) They don't have back up cleaners so when the cleaner can't clean, they block off my calendar3) They do not have easily legible financial statements and do not provide 1099s 4) They have made decisions that have required my money without consent5) They block off check-ins on Sundays6) They are not great with technology - though they try to use hostfully to list on many platforms, I will frequently see that my listing is not up on VRBO for example.

If you think this is too much to handle by yourself, you'll still be better off spending your money on a digital marketing agency with a proven record, or a content strategist.

@Maurizio Pisciotta  Great you are aspiring to build financial independence with real estate. 

Keep a track record of success versus trying to grow net worth at all costs.
