What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

@Vanessa LuleEstimating Occupancy Rates: AirDNA is a great tool, but it can sometimes be hard to verify actual occupancy.Hidden Costs in Monthly Expenses: Besides rent, utilities, and cleaning supplies, don’t forget to budget for:- Maintenance and Repairs: Minor wear and tear costs add up, especially in short-term rentals.- Platform Fees: Airbnb and Vrbo charge around 3% per booking.- Furnishings and Decor: High-quality, durable items are worth the initial investment.- Insurance: Short-term rental insurance (beyond renters') can protect you from guest-related risks.- Licensing or Permits: Check if your area requires permits, as some cities have fees for short-term rental operators.Breakeven Analysis: To calculate your breakeven occupancy rate, add all monthly expenses (rent, utilities, cleaning, insurance, etc.).

I do a rent by room strategy, and I use a tenant application platform (Turbo Tenant which I love) but they're having trouble inputting their info....Is there another way to verify income, credit score etc with a foreign visa?

Hello @Michael Dallas,To verify the seller’s information, ensure you request these essential documents:Rent Roll (to confirm rental income and occupancy)Lease Agreements (to review tenant terms)Financial Statements (past 1-2 years, including income and expenses)Property Tax StatementsUtility Bills (if applicable)Maintenance Records and recent CAPEX reportsInsurance Policy DetailsInspection Reports (any recent or previous reports)These will help you confirm the property’s income, expenses, and condition.

Be sure to verify any offers you come across.

Get detailed quotes on these to ensure it’s cost-effective.Zoning & Permits: Verify that your current property allows additional homes and meets zoning requirements for multiple units.Rental Demand & ROI: Assess demand for singlewide rentals in your area to confirm it’ll be profitable after all expenses.If everything checks out, these could be solid additions to your portfolio.

However - if they're there and verified to be inspectors to ensure the unit is compliant, then yes you are obligated to let them do their jobs.

If the tenant wants to stay, verify he can afford it.

Strategy is long term hold.Question - Apart from getting inspections done by a quality inspections company, what other items do I need to verify or consider as part of due diligence, before closing or in order to decide Go-No-Go?

The Order finds that White signed these letters as ORES's part-time CFO, or using his CPA designation, but did not verify whether the statements were accurate.Without admitting or denying the findings, White consented to the SEC's Order finding that he willfully violated Section 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), and he agreed to pay a $60,000 civil penalty.
