Here's what I do....again it may be controversial, but there is such an enormous pool of tenants that have vouchers that I can do this and still have plenty of people...No smoking of any kind.....I don't care if you have a card that says you need "it" for medical reasons.No evictions, ever.No felonies in the last 5 years.No dangerous breed "animals" or pets and when fully grown the pet can't weigh more than 20 lbs.They will pay for a background check through SmartMove that costs $40.00I don't care what "story" they have, I don't sign the RFTA package until they give me one full months depositI actually don't care what their credit score is because the housing authority pays most of their rent.I don't care about their oncome because the housing authority pays most if not all of their rent.

Nothing is truly "passive" and a big misconception with new folks wanting to enter the real estate arena.For example, just bought a 6 unit using leverage and trying to secure a loan was a disaster of a process.I can only imagine what others have to go through on every time they purchase a property using leverage.But then again, I'm bias to the "cash only" approach.The constantly changing conditions, terms, keeping tight bookkeeping records and tax returns in order and regularly manipulating the BS credit score algorithm.Placing good tenants is more a skill then hope.It took me 10+ years to fully wrap my head around using leverage the right way and being able to "manipulate" the system to get better rates with a quicker turn around.Keep being great thanks for your reading and replying to my comments 🙏
