That was a good tip with the storage, ill have to look into that. 

I’m wondering what type of information I should prepare to present to this person as well as general tips for approaching a private investor.

Some mechanics have a $40,000 toolbox full of all sorts of high and low tech stuffSome have a hammer and duct tape in a shopping bag.It's not always the right tool, but sometimes you may need to pull that one out.

I have looked online at the benefits and it looks like it’s the right move, but am not too familiar with the process?

Typically Charlotte is at the tip of the trends, and the rest of the country tends to follow the pattern that is set here first.

A good tip.

Note: I am aware of online applications like cozy that makes sure they fill out and pay their background/credit check but the applications for those types of software doesn't cover everything I want to ask and Brandon suggested paper applications is the way to go so it being my first rental I'll follow his advice on that but I just need a robust way of doing it.3.

@Jeremy Roberts and @Harjeet Bhatti thank you for that tip.

It's online- HCIDLA Hope this helped.. sorry for the word wall.

Maybe they could help with screenings, contractors, etc. but also that's  something I can do online/phone... and if tenants have bank accounts take care of rent that way too.
