That market is pretty saturated, but it never hurts to open it up as a secondary cash flow prospect.

Tenants aren't always the brightest, but they are able to look at a few places, and figure out whether what they see is worth what is being asked when they draw the comparisons to the other properties they see.One thing I also do is give the info to a local company that sells lists of "for rent" listings to prospective tenants; that's right, these potential tenants pay for a list of available rentals.

I used to do a specific visualization that I would be thinking about myself pretending that I was taking prospective buyers and their real estate agent through my fully rehabbed, for sale property, and them saying that they love it and want to deliver a contract that day.

I need recommendations for security measures and things to help deter further attacks on this house.First, 2 of my exterior doors with new deadbolts were broken.

Shares are priced based on the long-term prospects for a company and it is simply ridiculous to think that management that has tweaked the results for one year has done something good for the company.

You will be able to see any civil cases the prospective tenant has been a party to, so will know if there have been landlord tenant problems.

The ads on craigslist produce the most waste of my time so far.In my area, there is also a service called Locators, Inc. that sells a list of available rentals to tenant prospects; the prospects from this service are usually of better quality and tend to be more serious (after all they paid to find out about your place).

Of course, many will have the "right" answers for various situations (I do about 1-1.5 hour interviews with several prospective companies), but you only find which ones can put their money where their mouth is, so to speak, when they actually have the property management contract.As a result, I always make sure there is an out for me.

I just got an eviction report back from the tenant screening company I use (CreditLink), and it lists 2 successful evictions and 3 eviction proceedings initiated on this prospective tenant.

The prospective new landlord inquires to your renting history.
