I learned how to handle minor house projects while husband was working, saved tons off hiring people for minor but labor intensive projects like painting, window screening, changing locks, etc.

Consider property types, low down payment financing options, cash flow calculation, tenant screening, and property upgrades.

As for tips on property management, the number one thing I would say is to screen diligently.

In this situation should I accept the ex-husband as the guarantor and screen him normally like the rest of the applicants?

Do you use a 3rd party for screening?

@Oladosu Segun good screening! 

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

In my opinion you can't fail unless you don't screen tenants correctly, buy in a bad neighborhood, or get over your head with a rehab.
