We used flat white!!

But investors I do not request anything down, they usually become a client with repeat biz relationship and discounted, flat rate, prices.

some will look for a landlord who doesn't screen as well as an apt complex They will often find them since there are lots of landlords with only a few houses and no real screening process or at least one less stringent than an apt complex.

But I will definitely review leases and tenant screenings, and make a request for any potential deposits.

I figure once I quit I'll get even better at this, since I'll have more time to scope out the best deals and maybe manage some of them on my own for better tenant screening and more profits.

I hope for a relatively flat market in terms of price change for the next couple years, so market participants can relax a bit.

Freelancer.com or a similar website where you can post what you want done would be good for finding somebody to do this.The best method to get a good person to do this is to create a screen capture video where you record the screens and your voice as you walk through the county website and say which fields of information you need pulled into a spreadsheet/database.Not a simple process, but a big benefit is that I doubt others are doing this and that means little competition for you.

Federal Depreciation Recapture Tax Generally, depreciation recapture is taxed at a flat rate of 25% or at your ordinary income tax rate based on the amount of depreciation taken on the property over the years.

Yeah, screen your tenants well and you will more than likely not have those kinds of problems.The deductible is a bad idea because its customary that because they are renting the house they are not responsible for normal wear and tear (which is subjective in some cases) but its one of the few benefits of renting over owning a home.If you start charging them deductibles then they might as well buy a house.Just my opinion.

Originally posted by Account Closed: of course it is, I assume you mean the water is due as additional rent is in the leasewhich changes nothing about getting someone to pay.What gets them to pay is filing for eviction right away for non payment of water.these people are like traveling nomads getting evicted from one place to the next.Why haven't you screened these bad tenants out in your screening process?
