We do a quick 5 minute-8 question telephone screening that weeds out most of the undesirables and gives me valuable information.

Dont trust anyone or you will end up holding a undesirable property.

I like the way you think as far as the type of areas you're looking in, it'll reduce your risk dramatically for undesirable renters making the investment much safer.

Looking at his BP profile I see he's from Orange County California.One of my customers sent me a screenshot of an email he sent to my customer basically accusing me of being a scammer.I've never had any contact with Carlos or his company, but apparently he doesn't mind dragging my company name through the mud all the way from Orange County California.

They either forget renewal contract with new rate, hiring vendors that used mud tape for copper pipe leak,  on site manager renting the unit to her own daughter with 20% discount of the market rate, not aggressively looking out for new tenants etc.

Evicted undesirables in one side of the unit and re-rented.    

Mud season (mid to late March) and April and November, "stick season", the parts of the year where there are no leaves on the trees and no longer much snow, are slow.

There is already to many novice husslers  mudding the per foreclosure pond that anyone that is actually doing it would be a bit dumb posting the exact script on a public form like BP.

If something happens and makes the closing either impossible or undesirable, you lose whatever time and money you've put into that property.Worse, if damage or loss to the property can somehow be traced back to work you or your contractors did, guess who is getting sued. 

We bought a undesirable commercial lot, rezoned it to residential,  and we can put 10 units on the lot.
