It has worked out fine for me, but it is labor intensive and I can't see it working long distance. 

It may not be a bad idea to also be added to a MLS search to receive any new build listings. 

Personally, I follow this standard for every application I receive:- Income of at least 3 times the monthly rent (verified through the employer)- Credit score of 580+- Rental verification with past landlords (no outstanding balances, no late payments, and the property left in acceptable condition)- No history of collections, evictions, or criminal offenses- No overdue debt (except medical debt)This process has helped me place quality tenants over the years.

Warranties often have limitations, like they might not cover pre-existing issues, and there could be delays if they require you to use their contractors.I'm not sure if you've purchased a warranty already, but before purchasing a warranty, it’s a good idea to carefully read the fine print to see what’s covered and if there are any exclusions.

Especially if it was just in the fine print.

Check to see how many contacts a listing has received in X amount of days to see if it is competitively priced.

If you see someone violating the rules, create a post with "@moderators" and we will receive a notification and respond.Again, welcome to BiggerPockets and happy investing!

I've known about Jerry for YEARS haven't spent one penny and have received a ridiculous amount of value engaging with his content, again for FREE.

It worked fine for awhile but I knew something like this would happen eventually.

Now, we haven't received any rent from the new property manager for the last 9 months.
