(LOL, Good luck collecting that with my incredibly limited assets.)

You can filter your results by forum category, by forum, and by age of post.Additionally, we will shortly be making the default results show 3 years worth of data to prioritize newer threads, vs. the current 8 years of results that is now the default.

If you don't have a property manager then what about mileage or how are you collecting the rents, making deposits, etcIf you had to do some rehab work I will have lots of questions.

Look at the income, expenses, the local market and the rest of the stuff that is important to you- and make a offer you can support with your data.

They are probably around 50 (given that their kids are grown up, done with college, and out in the world working), so the previous statement is not inconceivable, I've seen it before.The effect of the preceding data is that there are no previous landlords to contact, nor can I contact their employer... they *did* give references among their neighbors, who I'll call this weekend.

Anyway, I think I'll keep drawing credit reports, at least this time around... it gives me something familiar to refer to, and it's a piece of data that has not come directly from the prospect!!

If the co-signer doesn't make enough income or is a deadbeat, you won't be able to collect from them - so their signing is basically worthless (you can get a judgment against them that they won't pay anyway - that's about all you'll end up with).

Getting a realtors license is only a step above getting a notary public license. 10 - 15 years ago the only thing they had was access to the mls and data that nobody else did.

If they accept, I arrange to meet with them and either sign the lease, collect the full deposit and one months rent in cash and give them the keys, or sign the nonrefundable hold deposit form and collect the deposit, in cash.Screening is a binary decision.

I could be a senior engineer working for someone else making a bunch of money and not have to go all over the place pandering for business, collecting on invoices, fretting about insurance and payroll....Seriously, if you are self employed, you are more constrained in so many ways than if you have a well defined responsibilty working for someone else.
