Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

I see posts on CA insurance that appear to be ignorant to both the past method used to set insurance prices as well as the approach the current commissioner is advocating.The current policy had insurers set rates based on past losses.  

The best programsThe Land Method.

As others have stated, your fit & finish goals should be guided by whether you plan to:1) Rent: tenants don't always take care of a property, so you want to use lower-grade materials and workmanship.2) Flip: higher quality on workmanship and materials is usually required.Regardless, you always want to "Maintain to the Neighborhood".

My rule of thumb is the more details you include about the property the more quality leads that you obtain.

If so, how do you trust you're getting a quality tenant that is safe?

@Tayvion Payton here's some useful info:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Having them deposit the funds in your account each month is the only other viable method IMO.

I absolutely target retention through many methods.

Every customer is assigned to a group of team members there and I imagine each team varies slightly in quality given the human element!
