Fully engaged prospects always make for better tenants.This is a clause similar to ours: Tenant has the right to request proof that any mortgage(s) held on the above referenced property is no more than 60 days delinquent.

We usually put them in our rehabs as soon as they get power, to deter vandalism and theft.

These prospects are close to or in retirement looking for Income more than cash.

Between those and the BoA prospects I am turning away, it doesn't leave much to work with.

Sorry, I just spoke with some folks in a low income area who live in some poor conditions....got a little excited at the prospect is all.

Aroundme (and Yelp) to find restaurants and gas stations in unfamiliar neighborhoods, as well as distances to nearby hospitals, supermarkets, and theaters when talking to prospective tenants.

I do believe in the tax sale process as a great way to gain properties or just interest and do not want to deter anyone from looking into them.

How big of a turn off will the tiny single bathroom be for prospective tenants?

I found a prospective investment property in NJ where I live, and the owner lives in California.

Normally to reduce DOM we include really nice appliances, or we stage the property, or we include some "bling" type features to make sure our rehabbed properties get on our retail buyer's short-list.However, in our Atlanta area homes we have had some serious theft incidents (even in nice neighborhoods) - all of our properties are alarmed, but that doesn't deter them.
