Don't waste any of this valuable time you are given.

Remember to respect and protect each other so that we can minimize the loss of loved ones and return to our normal lives as soon as possible.You will notice that I have repeatedly used the word "proactive".

So I’m prescreening them like hell now, and asking them to visit the area first, so I don’t waste my time with useless one off showings.

I’m in negotiations on a duplex here on Long Island that I can purchase for $425,000 and collect $4,500 gross per month with minimal Capex.

I bought a flip property needing light cosmetic work (new flooring, cabinets, counters, appliances, minimal drywall and electric work, smoke smell removing and paint.

Either way, I left a nice message that I would talk with my partner about his "rock bottom" price (still not disclosing what my offer would be) and how we could make the numbers work, and then get back to him in a couple days unless we couldn't meet his minimum, in which case I wouldn't waste his time. 

Also, even if they have purchased a home before, they aren’t necessarily that savvy so it may take days to week or more for them to get all the paperwork together for a loan officer to figure out what they can lend (ie people have lives and also not always “clean W2” salaries).While I work with plenty of clients who don’t have their financing set when I meet them (or day they do but can’t prove it), required PoF is important to make sure you aren’t wasting the Realtor’s time, or fall in love with a house you can’t afford.Case in point.

There is no formula for perfect investing - just doing as much due diligence as possible to minimize unnecessary risk.

If not, I wouldn't waste your time on it. 

You can follow the law and post notice, but I think it's waste of time and just puts more stress on tenants.
