By the way, his parole officer vouched for him.

Although my house is unique and larger than most 3-bedrooms here..plus it has an office which many don't.

I like the people I work with, and the office is a hub of long time experienced real estate owners, property managers, tax consultants and investors- great wealth of information.Recently licensed, and am now on the search to hang my RE license with a brokerage (no brokers in my current office to serve this need).

Personally, I would advise against using another agent within the same office.

@Cody DeLongIf the dad is the owner, you need to contact him.Contact the daughter only if you can't track down the dad.

In addition from the fact a drywall repair is generally a minor repair, I don’t think it would be worth your time to go through tracking down the past owner and/or insurance company.

You may want to check with your zoning office to make sure you are not over stepping the line with the county government.

Your agent or loan officer should have went over these things in-depth with you.

The child cannot be a consideration, for fair housing.We have split the vacancy costs with tenants who have a later move in date.Agree that a scoring system helps decide and document an unbiased decision.I would prefer the couple that doesn't have an expiring visa, if they have a track record of staying at addresses more than the length of the remaining visa. 

PM me your email I’ll send you mine when I get back to my office
