I also felt pretty good about my skills in assessing new tenants.

Sounds like you've got a good head start and I'm looking forward to hearing more about your progress.

If you're in debt, its because of high deliquency of owner assessments or high level of repairs or higher than anticipated expenses.

.- How will the people living in the unit treat the place - Checking with past landlords and making an assessment of the people should answer that question.If their previous place was taken well taken care of and you feel comfortable with the church as the guarantor, I would have no problems.My two cents.Oren

I'm no expert, but you want to re-assess your expenses.

If not I'll change it up a bit, Phone screen, met at location show apartment, ask them to complete the application and background check at the site.Maybe I'll have the option of going to Rocketlease and filling out the application and running the background check or returning a paper copy of the application with all necessary paperwork and running the background on SmartMoves.I guess you can say this is a work in progress.

It's great for our receivables but a new buyer can't be an FHA buyer.A board can raise costs and assess the homeowners even if it is their fault the budgets are not funded to cover costs.

Proving intent is critical and your assessment is spot on.

The only difference is the experience and qualifications of the person doing it and their ability to "replicate" what goes on in the mind of a typical buyer.Tax Assessments generally do a similar analysis using the cost approach.

Don't know how exactly they would go about assessing if it is being used "as a vehicle for obtaining investment properties."
