So, my question for the BP community is this: does anybody have a verified, dependable screening company that covers evictions nation-wide - even Maine, and that will allow me to see the full credit report (after an office inspection, of course)? 

If your tenant has less to legitimately complain about than the rest of the people s/he works with, sooner or later you're going to end up with a waiting list of future tenants.I like this post and agree about the water cooler analogy.. when I had a bunch of rentals in one community that were almost all hud the tenants would talk and say hey I want one of those JLH houses..

I have taught people for free how to obtain the leads, however, I do offer a product for people too lazy or too busy to be taught... that's besides the point... the topic was removed fro self promotion when I was simply giving really good information and personal experience.What's worse is that the moderator talked down upon me as an individual for trying to provide real value to the community.

I'm new to the Bigger Pockets community and have been listening to the podcast for about 3 weeks now.

It also keeps me engaged and motivated.

Looking forward to networking with people from this great community. 

Are there any suggestions from the community for creative investment strategies?

I'm a green horn to real estate investing looking to pick up some helpful tips and tricks from the community to help me get started.

Welcome to the BP community Rick, great to have you. 

Hi Bigger pockets community, I just purchased my first investment a quad plex in Gwinnett County, Atlanta closed yesterday, looking to house hack.
