I just had a freakish weekend showing a house--the first applicant was a very attractive woman who worked for a cosmetic Surgery clinic -- she had obviously taken advantage of the employee discount--she had a very nice look and way about her- & her children were nice too--she was evasive about her credit -she said it wasn't "too good"----upon getting the screening back,the records showed she had undisclosed bankruptcy, recent eviction--she said that was her sister's eviction-- it was" just in her name", the LL name she gave me was not the property owner listed on the county records--"she said that was because of a divorce and he was hiding from his wife", the child support financial records to support her income I asked her to provide "couldn't be faxed because something was wrong with the fax machine at the clinic", and she had 30 recent collections as well as 4 new court judgements-- these were" just loans and things, so how does that affect me renting your house?"

My lawyer (a friend) will set up my LLC, but it will cost over 1K to do so so I am looking for other options.My longterm girlfriend (12 yrs) and I are going to partner with her brother and sister in law in buying rentals.

Me, my brother and my sister signed a quit claim deed to allow my mom to live in the house.

The first worked great as I was the one on site doing the work, although my brother and sister in law flew done a couple of times to do roofs.

I have a sister who is married and lives in Canada; I live in a townhouse that my mom owned and she lived with me.

The HW company would notify me each time they paid a claim.A few years later when I found out the wife's maiden name and discovered she was the sister of 3 of the toughest attorneys in town, I could see where that would have gone without the HW and my company handyman doing favors on the property for them.

I don't know if anyone remembers the situation we stumbled upon but I will do a short recap.My husband, Dan, works with a guy who's sister worked for Wren realty here in st. louis.

Two of the employees are my Sister and I - and we have two full time maintenance employees.

I have spoken to my sister who has her license and another investor and they both tell me i have a good oppurtunity to do well. my problem is i have no credit and i am wondering what would be the best way to start building it.

I have access to the MLS system in my town because my sister works as a secretary for an appraiser, and i was wondering if anyone could teach me how to do comps?
