Right now I use an VA from the Philippines to respond to all my leasing questions (from Facebook, email, text, and phone) and help with application screening and it's been working great for over 5 years!

Most of us had to be this ourselves (with a little help from our investor agents, where applicable).

after seeing all the risk management/insurance that comes with tenants wood fire usability, I was wondering the same, or, actually:   I'm thinking to seal the cap on roof and run a cord putting an electric Infrared heater fireplace in there, so they can still open the glass and get heat and watch TV over the mantle, but can't burn anything or have any flame.  

I’ve recently watched a webinar for Tom Cruz and Blake Choisnet 90 day rental roadmap.

I feel like it would be great to trust a property management company on all of this, but it would be hard not to step in if you could do a better job at screening bad tenants (eg screening HUGE future problems).I initially managed properties myself, but now I delegate that responsibility to my business partner, personal assistant, or a property manager at my brokerage.Most PMs I know will send you an applicant for final approval and you can get on the phone with them and ask them questions

.: I wanted to get involved in land investing and made a post about it during the summer and have continued to look at it until now.I was questioning if I should trust a land guru in my area so I asked about it and got some feedback.So then I have searched for land investing education programs and a name was at the top on google and I saw he had a lot of information out there.I did research on him and watched a lot of his videos and it all sounded good but I heard him talk about how he now owns over 1000 doors in multi family, so I started thinking about it. 

To receive the 4% ratio, you have to submit an application showing the property is your primary residence.

Most lenders will use the middle of your three credit scores and if there's more than one applicant, the lender will go with the lower of the two credit scores.

Review the quality of the tenant base (do they have a history of paying on time, what were the original screening criteria, do they have applications on file).

The only issue is with a bit lower rent there's a higher number of applicants that won't qualify but I don't mind the volume to get it filled.
