Often employed by professional tenants to mislead mom and pop landlords.For me it is a obvious red flag when screening.

She will owe rent until a new tennat moves in and will be responsible for all your costs associated with finding a new tennat....advertising, screening etc.There is absolutely no reason for you to do her any favours.

If your screening standards have a set minimum this can not be negotiable otherwise you have no standards.

One of the things I’m learning Is that in my neighborhood, I’m having to adjust everything I learned about screening  on bigger pockets.

So, screen and manage them well!!

I only disclose it after I initiate a dialogue with the prospect and they have been pre-screened for qualifying criteria. 

They meet all screening qualifications and I gave them a speech about how it has to remain two units (i.e. no knocking down of walls to make it one place, etc) but I was wondering if I should sign one lease with both units listed, or have them sign the lease twice, once for each unit of the duplex?

SMART tv in the living rooms, basic cable in the bedrooms, gas or charcoal grill, indoor and outdoor manly type of entertainment (poker table, darts, fire pit, horse shoes), and lots and lots of artwork that I can not post a picture of on here without the post being removed.

Do you have a high turnover rate with all the college students or do you try to avoid students when screening for tenants to get a more long-term renter?

How do you screen prospects?
