I just bought a property through JWB this past June. 

You are allowed control over who pays what costs through control panels within the program… so you can control who pays the fee to screen a tenant and how much you charge for that service as well.  

The last rental I posted, I had a woman apply and found out she had stolen someone’s identity when I was working through the background.  

You must pay rent through the day of departure.

In total we will have 1 LLC and two separate trusts.All that said, I guess my questions are as follows:-We need to set up an operating bank account for renovation work for our new property, should we set this up through the trust, through our existing LLC or just pay using our personal accounts?

If you are just starting out, I do not recommend you exposing yourself to more than 25k - 30k in capital investment through the whole life cycle of a deal - close to close.

Hello everyone,I often hear the terms cash flow market and an appreciation market?

Help me think through the pros and cons to determine whom I should rent to:Candidate 1: Single recently divorced person with a 65 lbs pitbull.

It should have positive cash flow in that future scenario.  

What you're suggesting *may* work if its a few site walkthroughs, which isn't abnormal if you've worked with the contractor before - but don't expect contractors (at least the good ones which are usually busy) to jump at the opportunity to keep joining you as you look through opportunities.
