I also learned how NOT to screen a tenant and what class of property to NOT buy (for me in the future).

Website is standard...the thing is, if they get your info they will literally harass you with phone calls from some place in India.

Both were back when I had a proliferation of 0% balance for 18/24 & 0% transaction fee, and both checks generated a phone call from the credit companies (Bank of America and CitiBank) to ensure they were legitimate.

I have been living OOS for 10+ years doing Sec 8,,, Love it. 15% ++ NET caps based on cash purchase Buy right, reno right, rent/screen right, 

Midnight drunken brawls happen, but are more infrequent then you might guess depending on your screening. 

@Vernon Welch II most tenants offering to pay their rent upfront are trying to compensate for negative qualification issues.NEVER override your screening process just because someone offers to pay several months upfront!

@Roger Garner all of the above give you great ways to find GCs, but HOW will you screen the bad from the good?

I spoke with them on the phone today, and it turns out I was off on the interest rate they originally quoted me—it was actually higher.The main issue, though, is that they told me the rate was locked, but then they raised it.

Is there a way to get someone's contact info (phone number) for a vacant property without having to pay $500 a month for a subscription?

Just be ready for the ride...it’s not always smooth sailing, but if you play it right, those jitters can turn into some seriously sweet returns.And if you do end up jumping on a short-term rental in Tampa Bay, just pick up the phone and let's dig into it.
