I have recently cleared my post graduation in Project Management + International Business and have a background in Computer Science from back home.My family back in India is into long term buy and hold real estate investing in farmlands, empty plots and commercial spaces.

This is when the "real" credit and background check comes in, and where any compromise to your screening can hurt.

Background - owned properties in CA, one is primary home with mortgage and my parents live in another one (no mortgage and title is under my name).

As my current PM says, just because they're section 8 doesn't mean they don't have to pass our screening requirements and background check.

2 bed 2 bath town home with small fenced in yard in a quiet beautiful neighborhood with great schools (I just got lucky, I don't have kids yet) What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Rental comps in government hill, for your pocket and size, would be in the range of 1500-1800, it is a beautiful house I checked out the listing.

I always ask the seller to provide me with lease agreements and background checks on the tenants.

Background: I am in the process of buying a business.

That's the beauty of BRRRR model if used effectively. 

So you kind of have to think about stuff like that.Otherwise it was beautiful.
