Commissioner Bell plans to accomplish these objectives by prioritizing the Bureau’s enforcement efforts.

Prioritize professionals who come highly recommended by other investors.Regular Updates and Check-ins: Set up a system for regular communication.

So one of the reasons I like managing my own properties is I can vet the tenants myself, not only screening criteria but in one of my units I had someone who contacted me, and frankly her credit score was below my criteria but she reached out told me she has two kids and really loved the unit and she’d be sure to make the payments, I decided I’d at least show her the unit, and when I met her she was super sweet & I could just tell she would take good care of the place and really prioritize making her payments, and I was right even the few times she’s been late she’s apologized and has never missed a month of payment, so I’d self manage your properties in the future & I think if you know how to both screen & read people you’ll do better than with a property manager.

I knew it was coming but prioritize being the bigger man in these blaringly obvous cases. 

If they're vacant, I prioritize them.
