For my C-Class rentals I do:-3.5X earnings-No prior evictions-625 credit score-1st month's rent and security deposit-No smoking or vaping on the property-Pets depends.

I'm a tech guy at heart, so I'll be all over the smart gadgets to help streamline things.Yes, once in have this running and I have possession, I'll be sure to post my deal.

The strange thing was, every time I left Los Angeles and traveled a little distance a water heater in one or another building would go on the blink on a weekend and every tenant would scream about not having hot water and it is difficult to find a contractor who can repair most of these new water heaters with all sorts of new electronic circuit boards and gadgets on them.

I have a rental property in the middle of two businesses, one beside me is an insurance agency that I have no issues with, the other one is a smoke/vape shop that just opened up.

If someone is smoking, vaping, cooking strong smelling food, etc. they will smell it in the other unit.3.

No smoking/vaping.

For example, I want to know if the applicant smokes/vapes, and has ever had an eviction filed upon them. 

Paint will not adhere to any surface if it has contaminants like cigarette tar, vaping residue, grease from cooking, etc.

@Megan DeppeWhen I did all the long-distance landlording back in 2004, etc... all these gadgets didn't exist--haha!

Like without fancy gadgets or sites like propstream( not even sure they use those).
