Morgan M. Operating Statement: Just ask?
28 April 2019 | 7 replies

 There are many different ways to create a business model I would definitely make sure I understand all the laws and regulations such as fair housing discrimination fair credit reporting act and local property code before you go down this path you may be creating a lot of extra work in a lot of potential lawsuits and litigation if you’re not versed on the laws that protect tenants  I would just ask yourself what the goal of the reason you’re doing that is if it’s to save a little bit money or not deal with an incompetent property management company then you may want to change companies before you go through all of this work just as a side bar of what you’re trying to do
