Learn how to properly screen and you'll avoid 99% of them.

Each project has a fantastic member club house with big screen TVs, sitting areas, outside tables, some appliances, bathrooms and so forth.

I know BP works hard to keep everything legitimate but the best of organizations just can't screen everything and scams are destined to get through the cracks.

A flat screen TV on the wall will cost you $500 but it will drastically increase rent ability.- Make your houses "female friendly" ya know what i mean.... ;) they are just less rough on stuff (other than drains)- SFH is a great way to start.

With inherited tenants you can either choose your battles, or evict them and place tenants you screen properly.

After closing the agent and I were enjoying dinner and a few drinks and she brought up that as long as I wasn't going to have any lookers before the next afternoon or evening I should think about doing a few minor things to the house to amp my profit.Since the house is on a dirt road, with white brick it was a bit dirty, had TURQUOISE SHUTTERS AND SCREEN DOOR, and had ugly curtains in addition to mini blinds.

On a lighter note, how about tenant screening?

I guess it depends who your tenants are (an how well you screened them) - but for a young investor - it's a potentially ideal opportunity to learn how to manage a property that's easy to keep track of and maintain.I currently own and manage a property that's way on the other side of town, and managing something like this would be much more stressful for someone who's trying to learn the ropes - than it is for an experienced landlord.Living next to your tenants can (an is) less stressful than driving a long ways to your property - o - and there's the financial benefit of having tenants to pay your mortgage for you.It's the way to go IMHO.

Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for other investors and investment groups in your area.

If you’d like you can send me a message and I’ll walk you through a policy via screen share to help explain.
