I use pacer.gov to search court cases, which is very useful.  I was wondering what other sites you guys use for screening tenants before paying for credit and backround checks. 

I have a snowplow service set up for the winter, but I have been cutting the grass on my own this summer so that is something they could possibly take over.  

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Elise, looking at it a couple of times, here is my take: you do not have to send it if it is held by an entity ("A lessor includes only individuals, estates and trusts.") and also if it is for services from a non employee from out of state.

. $75.00 per month is clearly total BS marketing and if I had an 8 month tenant duration I would be pissed as an owner.I take great pride in the service we provide with only 2 fee's to owners, a lease up fee and a % per month.

I think we just about broke even, but the learning experience on these two properties will be with us forever.Things were looking up, but I started a hotshot delivery service right before oil crashed in 2014. 

@Jim Watkins 1) don’t advertise in a public forum that you don’t declare your income 2) go legit, start declaring 3) run your credit report and talk to lenders, you don’t know until you try

All the cell service is down.

It saves them time is they immediately find a deal killer.On the other hand, if you are trying to get a title search on 100 properties that will be auctioned off each month just pay a service.  

The key factor, you being the negotiator, if you feel strong in this position and if you do not. reach out to a real estate investor and negotiate a percentage you are willing to provide for their service.
