House was built 2003, I also have $80 entered as a custom expense field for the misc exterior expense. $30 electric is a third meter(we/septic system), tenants pay utilities.

@Nicholas Field I second your vote for IKEA casework as the quality is solid and the price is unbeatable (especially if you're DIY'ing it).

I don't know much about law enforcement but my guess would be that you wind up visiting a lot of places that fit that description if you're out in the field. 

Especially if you are already a high earner in a different field. 

Unfortunately the only way to disqualify them was going through the process until I found the property was a second position, hoa, foreclose was deficient, surviving liens etc..Creating a report with only relevant data, grouped and ordered a certain way would allow me to see disqualifying characteristics very quickly...so that what i set out to build I started with only a few fields (case number, folio, address) used that data to look for other data like owner names , then that data to check for liens, mortgages, court dockets , violations, tax bills, permits,  etc..it was definitely a challenge to say the least.Data is vast and its spread out in many sources all with different  challenges i.e search parameters, integrity and availability To name a few...

@Nicholas Field,I agree, I have a gut feeling that this will be a good asset when completed.

Just experience from working in the field. 

In my first few years as an investor, I mindlessly subscribed to the notions that all tenants are headaches, all landlords are slumlords, and that I don’t want to field 11pm phone calls about plugged toilets.

I wish to field a hypothetical: I have a secured line of credit with a competitive interest rate.

I have 25 years experience in a wide variety of fields including office management, building maintenance, accounts payable and receivable, and property management.
