Quote from @Nick Rutkowski: @Nathan Gesner for the beginner guys who are going to read this post.

A lot of it is the standard Buildium application, most of the extras I put in there after reading Landlording on Autopilot by Mike Butler.Application fee needs to cover all your screening costs. 

Thank you for your feedback 

I had read that you should look for a neighborhood where there have been at least 5% of the total homes in that given area sold in the past year.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read my post! 

Any thoughts and feedback would be most helpful.Laurieann Edit signature

I laughed when I read that you added value through "Pain", which I assume you meant, Paint ;-)This shows that you are going to hold this investment.

I started diving back into learning by reading the Real Estate Rookie and was hoping to put myself out there and find some like minded individuals that are in the beginning stages of their investing career as well.

Anyone willing to chat, share experiences, and discuss numbers is more than welcome and your feedback is appreciated!

I always am amazed when someone selling a $600,000 house brings me a listing agreement where they agreed to pay a stranger $30,000 to list their house for sale and they didn't even read the agreement much less spend the $250 to have a lawyer tell them that yes, if they sell it to their cousin during the listing period they still have to pay the $30k.
