Screening tenants well and then a security deposit or credit card hold process in place will limit liability.

They said they have a solid list of criteria to screen tenants, but they placed a tenant who stopped paying last July.

Better at finding and screening members as well as giving you more tools to help you manage your PadSplit effectively.

There is much to learn: pricing, marketing, screening, contract law, lease enforcement, late/unpaid rent, property abandonment, squatters, maintenance, tenant neglect or abuse, communication, and 417 other things.Buying a decent property but not managing it well can impact your finances, marriage, sanity, physical health, and desire to invest.

@Alec JacobsI would use platforms like Zillow Rental Manager or Avail for rental management, for listings and tenant screening, and tools like Cozy or Buildium for rent collection.

Would you rather spend a half an hour on a phone call, and under $200 to fix a small issue now, or the other end you people being slum lords and not handling YOUR responsibilities in owning, renting properties????

I will be managing the property and have done a deep dive in all things real estate - screening, leases, Oregon tenant laws, etc.

I found several properties, made one phone call to a loan broker, paid the 1%+ and life was easy until my broker talked me into re-financing on every loan about every 3 years, or maybe, there was so me reason I had to re-finance.

would be interesting to hear how "bottom-of-the-barrel" these questions can get lol(I can also hop on the phone sometime and chat throw if you prefer and are open to that)Getting neighbor signatures could be fantastic!

I agree with a strong property management plan, but I find the screening process is paramount.
