I find roommates using Craigslist and FB market place.

Kind of interested in market, places to zero in on, places to avoid, any thoughts?  

The leak had gone undetected because my renter failed to transfer the water bill to their name – and therefore had not been aware of or even paying the water bill once since moving in.Upon finding out about the large water bill and the running toilet issue, I immediately scheduled a leak detection specialist and plumber to inspect the entirety of the water line and address any found issues at their soonest availability.

You can also check out the BP MarketPlace as many people post there and you can talk to them directly to get answers to your questions:)

@Jimmy S.You're a landlord, not a detective. 

If you go to the marketplace forum you can see "sellers" that can't even present their deal....So my .02?

I know that you can't catch them all, but working on your screening process and detective skills will net you far more valuable rewards than insurance dollars.

We have rolled-our-own building monitoring and (increasingly) management system which lets us detect conditions and events at our properties before they become calamities.We are deploying electronic deadbolts which allow us to grant/revoke access remotely and permit us to let in locked out tenants using our phones/laptops rather than driving across the city.  

Even then, I'd need to update/validate that information with what is currently happening in the marketplace.
