Mold, no screens, broken toilet are "real" repair needs. 

You can call a plumber, you can call a carpenter and you can certainly run an ad on craigslist for free for new tenants and you can certainly run your own credit bureau reports for screenings.

I've been trying to do my homework and protect myself as far as screening borrowers, analyzing and asking questions about deals, and making sure I'm on the title and hazard insurance, funds are held in escrow etc.

If there is nothing more soffiticated than print screen shots of google maps and highlighting the areas I have drove I will just do that.
