I quickly realized it was a mistake after i screened out people left and right.

I can start you out by going to the top right corner of the screen and clicking on the circle where your profile should be.

Don't even discuss until they've passed your other standard screens.

Don't forget tenant screening.

I paid a background screening service $25 to check the new tenant.

I need some recommendations for an honest, reliable, property management company that will diligently screen tenants on the forefront.

I found a duplex on a "block" that is actually a pretty cool block. ....I put a renter in the other side of the duplex.....one that I personally screened....she covers most of the mortgage payment.I bought in August of 2016 and within the next year or so there should be enough equity in the duplex where I can refi out of it....and buy another place and still not have to pay PMI because I will be able to use the VA Loan again.Now, if you are wondering how can I get a tenant that would want to live in The Hood and be, not a good tenant but a GREAT tenant?....

the best way to minimize this is screen your tenants better.

Tenant screening - I have a point system I can share with you if you want but I avoid these scammers2.

This leaves these kinds of people to the folks who do not screen nor take their business seriously and rent out sketchy units to begin with.
