I have been finding tenants thru Facebook marketplace, been lucky so far, but I’m plan to buy more properties and manage them myself, how do I find and screen them more professionally without paying anyone

We got it ready to rent and although we had many many people inquire, they didn’t want to pay the price we posted.

If you're seeking off-market deals and ok paying an assignment fee, checking out investorlift.com.

According to the agreement, she is also supposed to pay a penalty of $200 ($50 fine + $150 for $10 per day).

This gives you the dry powder you need if a good deal comes along or unexpected expenses and you keep the existing low mortgage rates and do not increase your payment until you use the HELOC.Consider how you could increase the cash flow on the existing properties and if you have the means to pay off one of the houses to increase the monthly cash flow that way.

Give them the bill for the repairs BEFORE it is repaired and see if they pay it.

It's turned out to be quite a good deal for us both, as they are paying all utilities, some maintenance, and have even contributed to some cap ex in exchange for a multi-year lease.
