2) You MUST screen these people before renting to them, but you can use FurnishedFinders screening tool3) Otherwise, you can put your choice of screening link in your ad or include in a response template in FF.

Too bad you can't buy something owner-occupied, put 5% down with the best interest rate, live in it for 12 months (and fix it up), rent it out and repeat the cycle.Here's some other info you might find useful:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I find it hard to believe such a bad market could get worse, but only if you know why it’s doing so poorly compared to the rest of the country.

Reason that is bad is 2-4 units were the first to go sky high in 2020 to 2022 and now rents do not match the market if your getting financing.No point having a mortgage of over $2850.00 on a $420K home if the rents on a Duplex are only $1250 to $1350 a door.
