Long term goal is to get involved with enough buy and hold rentals to generate passive income and, ideally, financial freedom.

I usually send a friendly greeting and link to an application, along with a list of credentials needed ($25K minimum gross annual income, 650+ credit score, and a clean background). 

The overall ROI increases because they will end up prevent you from evictions, missing rent for a month or two, etc.You could also add in cleaning and other services that are separate from rent but makes life easier or the tenants and depending on your type of tenants most would be willing to pay for similar types of services.

When we viewed the properties, it was clear the tenants kept the place clean and in good shape. 

Account Closed we use attorneys in the Chicagoland area but once you go down south near Urbana or far west attorney's are not involved. 

But, some people told me, if city involves, they will destroy all the walls and might set a fine because I did not ask for permit and all the works he had done are wrong.

Usually it revolves around life-safety features like smoke detectors, egress, etc, but depending on the locale can include that it’s reasonably clean, no broken windows, etc.

Another option is to go ahead and get involved with Keller Williams or Coldwell Banker.

Analysis:Rental of Other Property Not Securing the VA Loan Rental income verified as stable and reliable may be included in effective income.If there is little or no prior rental history onthe property, make a determination based on review of: documentation of the applicant’s prior experience managing rental units or other background involving both property maintenance and rental any leases on the property, and the strength of the local rental market.

Add that to your documentation.If illegal drugs are involved, it might be worth your time to contact your local law enforcement.
