Fantastic metric #1, the demographic of townhome renters is most often a person on path to home ownership or in flux (divorce) and thus credit conscious, and sensitive.

I would recommend anyone selling real estate to have proper representation as aspects of the process can be time-sensitive and/or contentious.If you insist on selling your condo on your own I would keep these things in mind:Determine the condo’s actual market value.

However I’ve worked through a lot of sensitive situations as a leader of Marines that I think have exposed me to a wide variety of decision points. 

Unless you are making cash offer deals and close in 3 days, or are investing in very time sensitive investments such as tax lein certificates, etc., it usually is not a problem.There is always the option of the check book access through Guidant Financial Services where they set up an LLC for your SDI, but the costs for set up are much higher (in the range of $2500).

Exit price is highly sensitized to a few factors, primarily, amongst them cap rates (if going strictly off the income approach). 

And for tenant screening purposes, many online background check vendors now allow the applicant to provide their SSN via a secure website...without disclosing this sensitive personal information to the landlord.So questions for the community:Are you asking your applicants for their SSNs?

But if you want to revisit your investment capital and realize any decent return then belly up and hire someone who you enter into a time sensitive and binding "WRITTEN CONTRACT" with.

Generally when I get pre-quals in sensitive situations I call on on the LO/Lender and inquire as to how much work went into prequalifying the buyer.  

Both are similar in that they target first time, low-income, less FICO sensitive applicants.  

@Doug Haisten your VA should probably not be handling sensitive info i.e. social security numbers and bank account info.
