We make people take photos of themselves holding their ID and then I also meet them in person for the showing - at least for my units on the NW side of Chicago.I've never heard of these testers, but I am not surprised. 

Getting that first property is exciting—and yeah, NYC is no joke when it comes to price of entry.Honestly, a lot of people I’ve talked to in your shoes end up finding better opportunities just outside the city.

Lots of times you will have people complaining about noise even if you disclose it on the listing. 

But some (Dave Ramsey) people would rather have just a few paid off properties making just a little cash flow.

I'd like to find honest people who are not going to rip me off.

Can I walk into offices and leave a flyer for everyone in the office to read and set up zoom meetings with those people to go over the details further? 

There are a lot of people that are wanting to owner occupy, which has driven greater demand for these properties. 

Hey Bugger Pockets Community,I just finished reading Brandon Turner's book on investing with little to no money down (amazing book btw) and I am interested in knowing what are people's experience with MLO's and seller financing.

DM me if you would like to have a conversation and I can guide you to people I know in the community that could help.

Flat rate vet's the snot out of people to assure QUALITY.
