We use Avail.co to do the background checks, prepare and store leases, and to offer the required renter's insurance policy.Stessa.com does a good enough job acting as a free substitute for Quickbooks.AirBnB and Furnishedfinder.com for listing the space (though I will be trying MiniStays soon). 

There are budget-friendly self-management sites that make setting up applications and collecting rent simple and again, you can pocket that 12%.

At the hardware store buy the spray cans that reach out to 20 feet for around $10.  

The tenant advised me his girlfriend would submit an application, but not him.

Hello @Michael Dallas,To verify the seller’s information, ensure you request these essential documents:Rent Roll (to confirm rental income and occupancy)Lease Agreements (to review tenant terms)Financial Statements (past 1-2 years, including income and expenses)Property Tax StatementsUtility Bills (if applicable)Maintenance Records and recent CAPEX reportsInsurance Policy DetailsInspection Reports (any recent or previous reports)These will help you confirm the property’s income, expenses, and condition.

DSCR loans also allow real estate investors to secure financing based on property cash flow rather than personal income, which simplifies the application process!

One of the things a competent mortgage broker could do is help potential buyers package their loan request/application in a manner that would have a higher likelihood to being accepted above, and beyond if the buyer tried to do it on their own. 

I charge a $500 deposit or a $25/m pet feeBut I have a condition...I tell the applicant that I usually do not take pets, but I do make exceptions.

The individual can verify that it is a licensed health care provider, but cannot easily determine if that health care provider is one of the many that advertise on the internet for ESA authorizations for a fee.I personally think the biggest advantage of using petscreening.com as well as enforce AB468 is it discourages bogus ESA applicants from applying.
