Already using the tenant screening and forms!

Do you gather this criteria from a database company or another source, or are these criteria that you screen for when you get callers to call in on your ads/signs.

Otherwise: we are seeing a lot of buyers jumping on one property but not all agents or buyers can perform so... screen very carefully.

So even though those are nice numbers, they are not realistic to what HUD pays out, only a maximum amount.I use the MLS, or a local agency that places rental tenants, and I use them to place tenants for me, because in case you have been under a rock, prospective tenants have a LOT more rights and the process to screen is crazier than ever, I outsource it, AND the liability.

Good hinges, locks, hasps, I'd suggest covering windows with bars or heavy screening with expanded steel.

We purchased our first two rental properties and have one of them leased (the other rehab just finished and we are currently screening tenants).

After my son graduated then I took the rental license and hired a PM to find the tenant do all the screening.

(poor advertisement= longer vacancys) They also screen the tennants.

.* You have to foreclose to get them out of there if they default (3-6 mths, or more, with no payments and maybe a trashed house), so you better screen them closely.

Also remember that in a park usually the tenant you pick will have to pass the park's requirements as well, so find out what those are before you start your screening.
