However, it is an unfortunate truth that many section 8 tenants are under educated and do not have the resources to request a hearing from the government.  

That is why I am here requesting recommendations for a different company.  

Get active, get engaged, show people that you know what you are talking about and when you think you found someone in your area that looks like a possible partner, shoot them a colleague request and a message.Good luck!!!

Only after we have down selected to a couple of applicants, do we request they run the full background and credit check, which they pay for.

I'm doing that now, because my tenant neighbors haven't gotten back to me on several requests I've had to contact their owner, because I wanted to replace the fence and I don't know if it's mine or theirs.

@Ryan Clay  I sent you a colleague request that contained the requested contact information.

I've read quite a few earlier posts and see the fraudulent activity and thought I'd request a good recommendation here on BiggerPockets. 

We have not yet received the lease agreement from the PM but it was requested.

All of mine are 3 BR, 2Bath ranging in price from $90k-$120k.I have typically tried to stay away from anything below the $100k as I'm concerned about the quality of tenants.David, sent you a request as like to hear more about what/where you are getting your properties.

And if the funds are held in escrow, then there could be a request or debate later by the tenant to have the funds returned if they failed to exercise the option.On the flip side, you may want to record a memorandum of option and service your option payment to the seller through escrow to cloud the title and make it possibly more professional and binding if you have a large option fee at stake that you've paid the seller and if it gives the seller some peace of mind... but not Necessary...
