One of the most incredible things about our site is that the community is willing to help one another, and screen out the bull.I'm not accusing you of bringing the bull.

Did you buy a new big screen tv with your new found riches?

Remember you need to follow your tenant screening process.

it also takes time to advertise and screen new tenants.

If you can find someone that will move in on July 1, will pay the same rent you're paying, and will pass the landlord's screening, I would think you would be off the hook.

I found a niche in taking that liability off their hands and renting it to the resident population that couldn't figure out how to save $2,000.00 but could come up with $600 a month for rent....oh and flat screen TV's.

Does it really make sense that we need to screen pilots for weapons?

[Solution: Be "market agnostic" and only invest in cities that make sense economically, fundamentally, and the health of the housing market.]Tried self-managing their property(ies) without the experience or skill set required to qualify, screen, and manage tenants properly.

We didn't compromise on our screening and we had our share of "posers" and bad fits that we rejected, leading (ironically) to short term vacancy issues.

The rent on my place was $1750/month, so having time to screen tenants + a short vacancy is way more important to me than a couple hundred dollars.
