I second cozy.coI’ve been using it these last few tenant cycles and it’s a great tool in many ways.1- if the tenant won’t pony up the $40 fee or take the time to do it, it’s a great indicator for me to who I’m dealing with2- I don’t have to take applications and money and I don’t feel bad for taking an app fee and not giving it to those applicants. 3- no need to collect ssn and to destroy4- Tenants can’t leave anything blank as they can with a paper app5- feels more formal and professional 6- generally the type of potential tenant I like to deal with that can use tech to communicate, which gives me a glimpse to how they’ll handle future complaints and requests. 

The bad news is that it is harder to find great deals and the ones you find are OK, but nothing to brag about.

Keeping tenants in your property who don't have ability to pay is bad business.

I bought my first house in February 2017 for $185k with the goal of buying at every duty station during my career.

If you have a good deal and want to flip it and keep it all to yourself, then don't feel bad about using the money and pay them interest.

That's when I learned that none of these unanswered questions were relevant to running a business.My business failed after a year, but I managed to find a W-2 job (technical writing) that combined the mission of my failed business (freelance writing) with my previous W-2 career (computer tech).

She is BAD NEWS and will be nothing but grief. 

His response is that he’s always made money and never had a bad deal.

We'd legally rent it back from January 2019 through May 2019 and be moving out of state turning it back into a rental.I'm not looking for "that's a bad idea" - I'll come up with those conclusions on my own .  

My experience has been that stuff happens though, maybe it's just my bad luck!
