So we were letting people go on the fact they had a small dog who was crated during the day to interview people who could barely make the rent.

Interviewing and placing a section 8 tenant is no different than vetting a regular tenant...the only real difference is working with the MHA to get all your paperwork in order and get your property inspected/verified (the government does not pay rent for ****** properties).If you want to look at section 8, the class of property you buy does not matter....I would rather have less hassle from a quality property, personally. 

I'll reach out to interview them both. 

2) Set up a business checking account specifically for the property3) Choose property manager (have been vetting/interviewing 3 different ones already)4) Meet with current tenants, if necessary?

Interviews with managing brokers of real estate offices are flipped.

Below you’ll find my summary and some questions for those of you who have successfully created a database that has converted leads into acquisitions.My Summary of the Episodes88: How to get/convert MHP Leads through BrokersDo your due diligence on leads in a specific MSASearch for and screen local brokers, interview them, rank them, and select one (or more)Provide screened/qualified leads to a broker and ask them to consistently follow up with Sellers to build rapport with owner, and be there when they are ready to sell, or convince them to sellProvide a due diligence template to your broker that they will use to fill in high level figures and provide to you for further underwriting (lot/rent figures, OPEX, lot characteristics such as water/sewer, etc.)TipsClarify to your broker that even if you are not interested in pursuing the purchase after due diligence, you will circulate the deal to try and get it sold so that they get paid.Providing screened leads to a broker who only needs to convert them is a value add proposition to brokers who are limited in time, and will see that you are serious in acquisition.

It may come back to me some day.Here are some suggestions for interviewing a PM:1.
