Hopefully you bought a property that will attract better tenant than you just got rid of I saw on line yesterday a neat device it has a strong pulsing light followed by military grade pepper spray.. and ergonomically built so joggers can hold it while they jog.

. $20 or less for an online credit report is worth it's weight, and more, in gold.

For the Valley example, the 2016 new rentals coming online are 3100 and almost 4 times 2015.

In terms of hiring a property manager, many property managers are fine managing just 1 property (and since you typically pay a percentage of rent it really shouldn't matter to you).If you want to manage it yourself there are a handful of online landlord / property management software's you could use and access your account anywhere with internet access.You will still need someone (either a friend, or, at a minimum, vendors) you can count on locally to deal with any issues that arise when you are out-of-town.

You're lucky, you must have power to be on line!

I was trained in Internet and Network security and that is a classic example of a scam post.

Then I process one application at a time, starting with the most promising (based on the interview and written application and internet check and calls to previous landlords and income verification).

I'm in the process right now of making my lease which is going pretty good in which stuff is mandatory like online payments.  

@Jordan Hanksion Having been in your position exactly, I did all the research I could online - long distance etc, but eventually had to get on a plane and go meet with the boots on the ground and vet the possibilities with my own eyes.

If I want a LEGIT system, I need to seek out Internet marketers and coders.
