I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

I saw on line wholesalers talking about wholesaling pre foreclosures many states have very strict rules on dealing with homewoners in foreclosure. 

The town of Shandaken has some pretty strict rules regarding STRs, requiring a "absent owner" STR to be owned for a year before it can be used as an STR, and also limiting the number of STRs to 100 properties.

ask them to confirm they understand your policies (no parties, no extra guests that aren't included in the reservation, etc.) before accepting their reservation request. 

Transitioning from builder’s risk to a regular property insurance policy might be the way to go if the sale takes longer than expected.

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

I believe solid insurance and a good umbrella policy will suffice.

Our policy is no evictions, ever.  

I'm not sure which places are best to focus on with rules and regulations getting strict in some places. 

The insurances like AAA are strict on the paint, roof, plumbing, electric etcThe houses are in Stockton, California.Thanks
