Seems middle age tenants are used to playing the float and therefore prefer paper checks.

I already know what I will pay & what the market is in a area & were the comps are.That being said, I prefer to give the $$$ to the listing agent.

You have to use at least a Special Warranty Deed and preferably a General Warranty Deed or they won't insure the title.

If not, then walk the property, preferable with someone else, and video tape the entire place.

It would basically be a trade for a possibly lower return in your preferred area.Any thing you sell for above what you have into it would be a boon for your returns in the year that you sell it.

I had a section 8 tenant and she only had to pay about 10% of the $1,000 a month rent payment and over 60% of the time she never did or I had to chase her for the money, so I would prefer not to have a section 8 tenant again.The only reason I took her is because my rental management company tried to find a suitable tenant for 3 months and this was all they could find.

As for texting, I prefer to text tenants than to call, that way I can look back at what each of us said.

Locally owned is preferred.

Preferably in South Carolina but I'm willing to search elsewhere.

. - Paperwork: I prefer inspectors who provide their report and suggestions in a nice organized folder.
