Padsplit has a specific service like this where they do it all for you.

Tenant pays a monthly fee for this service in lieau of a traditional security deposit.EXAMPLE: you require a $3,000 security deposit.

And/or know of any firms that provide this sort of service?

@jon Minerick offers the service in my area.  

In our properties out of town we provide our tenants with the phone number to a service who rents them to our tenants.

what is the mortgage balance, is it current, how many payments back, what are properties selling for in the area (is his price above or below others), *how much seller financing can the seller take,* how much cash above the mortgage would seller accept, how fast does the seller want to get to the settlement table, what repairs or up-dates does the building need - you could ask if you had $10,000 to spendon improvements - what would you spend it on?

I also use the saved results to continue analyzing my portfolio after purchase once the property is in service.

Imagine the ARV being $15M and the Cost of repairs, $200K.

After a few trips back to the home to work on repairs (they trashed my house), I checked the mailbox and saw new mail addressed to this same name.

THE SELLER HAS A REPAIR COUNTEROFFER.We're not sure how to proceed, any advice would be greatly appreciated.About the house: It's in Tampa, a duplex.
