I do use it to pre-screen people.

Claim Estimate: $1500- One closet shelf broken from wall, one shelf missing from a closet and one sliding screen door net torn and out of window sitting in the garage.  

As you screen for tenants, start to look for things that indicate they are fussy.  

If you screen your tenants properly you won't have messages at all hours of the day.

These vary a lot: I've seen hard money lenders, turnkey providers, wholesalers, building contractors/tradesmen, suppliers (flooring, cabinets, appliances), companies that offer tenant screening, property managers, etc. 

When investing in Buffalo, I will reiterate that this is not the most landlord friendly state, but by setting proper tenant screening criteria with your PM a lot of issues can be alleviated.

Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for agents, property managers, other investors and investment groups in a particular area.

I'd also get confirmation that the one sister will be living there alone or else will someone else be moving in, and have them go through the screening process. 

Yes, it would require a lot of sweat equity and renovations but I knew if I properly BRRRR this property it would open up opportunities when finished. like I said I will save the numbers and details of the crack house BRRRR for a separate post but I wanted to give an example of how with some sweat blood and tears anyone can start investing in real estate.

You'll have turnover costs for sure, but you get to screen and place your next tenant.If this was a big deal for you, you could back out of the deal, but I'd wager to bet you would get sued for specific performance.
