Unfortunately that also lowers your return, so you might consider staggering the lower payments and rate (say 6%, then 7%, then back to 8%) over a couple of years. 

Quote from @Barbara Potts: Mike, thank you so much for your response!  

LexisNexis has a product called "Accurint".

I highly encourage everyone to view the property before putting money down, but that's not ideal for many of them, so I do allow them to rent "sight unseen," but I am very open with them to ensure they don't show up and back out.1.

They want to pick up the phone and call or text and get an instant response from their cleaners.

If so, you will need to apply for a change of number of bedrooms on the standard CHA rent increase form.

Do that for six months before you think about buying so you meet other people who are doing what you want to do.

Too many people just bought properties and threw IKEA furniture in them and called it a day.

this is all about the person selling this so called method making a ton of money on rookies.. no advanced investor would consider this a business model.. 

The agent works "for free" until the house sells, so taking them out of the deal is theft, and immoral."
