This happens 100% of the time a squatter presents a fake lease, deed or bill of sale.2) It takes several hours, if not days, and multiple calls for the police to show up.3) Even when they do show up and remove the squatters, the squatters sometimes break back in the same night.

My wife and I also own the only interior design company specifically for real estate investors, Ivory Home.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable, quality cleaning company with great communication?

How do I research the company?  

With technology and the right culture property management companies can be successful with a mix of local and remote team members. 

It is easy for people to download fake W2s, ESA paperwork, etc, with a few mouse clicks and a credit card. 

Be sure to actually contact the landlord for verification—fake references are more common than you’d think.In-Person Meeting: Meeting potential roommates in person is a great way to get a feel for compatibility.

A fake and basically empty Facebook account (with a hotmail email attached to it) was planted to give itself some credability.

I have learned a lot over the last ~6 months about furnishing a property, managing/pricing a rental, understanding the ins and outs of Airbnb/Furnished Finder, and analyzing real estate investments generally.My business idea is to use that knowledge and start a company that does the following:-Furnishes properties for investors who want to turn their LTR into a MTR/STR, new homebuyers who want to house hack, or just any investor needing a rental furnished.

@Mark DiPietro how about his company, The Lion Group Int?
