I am I licensed broker but before I got my license, all of my book training lead me down a different path.

Hello,I have helped my parents in renting their homes many years ago and remember that we had to provide a pamphlet about lead based paint and how to reduce lead exposure to the renters. 

The value you and your wife have is finding and buying properties that are a good deal and I'm assuming would generate monthly cash flow.  

Whereas marketing through our business page leads to my mom liking the post and someone calling us about the property 4 months after it's sold.We just get 10,000% better response from the profile activity.

Even with our conservative underwriting, a 2 bedroom unit will generate an additional $2400 per year in revenue.

(Toilets are a big one)- Deteriorating paint (lead is extremely common in cities like Rochester)- Breakers, furnace filter(s), water heater(s)- Damaged/broken stepsI think it is a little ridiculous to go around and nitpick with a checklist, but we do check for issues that would cost us money down the road, or are safety issues for our tenants (and properties).

To me, it's all about generating additional streams of income.

This will give you proven buyers in the area and can lead to making some great connections.

Obviously if they treat you right, it could lead to a lot more business referred to them, and if they don't they risk losing all of their business. 

I have 500 direct mailers going out to probate leads every month.
