However, this does not mean you are required to accept every prospective tenant with a Section 8 voucher.You must consider any prospective Section 8 tenant as you would any other tenant.

I have been a DIY landlord for 7 yrs now, and recently I have put up a unit for rent and had an real estate agent working on behalf of a prospective tenant.  

I am a first time prospective investor.

It's vital to know the ins and outs of owner/tenant regulations BEFORE you buy in a given area, and always do a very thorough credit and character check of every prospective tenant.

Having no other prospective tenants and being far too optimistic about the possible ways this could end, I obliged to let them move in before paying.On move-in day, I had arranged for the door to be unlocked and the keys to be waiting for them on the counter.

Some places have floor duty - you must be physically present, but you get any prospects that come in.  

I live in Deerfield but am looking to do some fix and flips to the south and south west of me: Northbrook, Glenview, Morton Grove, Niles, Mt Prospect, Elk Grove Village, Arlington Heights, Des Plaines.

By consistently reminding your prospects that you are an option through your marketing, if/when they decide to sell they'll remember you.

I am sure this would not deter the BP Team as well as the BP community. 

We are in search of an Investor friendly agent that can assist us with the area partner with potential property prospects.
