Comps are what matter: closed with a loan, past 3 months, similar site size, room count and square footage

Our plumber does give us a description of the blockage or issue and we screen this for tenant responsibility- ie superman was snaked out of the toilet, cat litter was dumped out of the now unusable garbage disposal (also interesting in non pet friendly properties) and we will pass that charge on to the tenant with appropriate explanation. 

Scaling- no matter your goal, current size, or timeframe you will run into Collateral or Finance constraints. 

Yes, there are new regs for 2022 regarding use of criminal background checks for tenant screening, radiator covers for steam radiators, and after July there will be new regs for lead paint testing. 

In terms of leasing and screening, it all depends on where the tenant is with their lease.

Cost will not vary much on paper but in real life how they  screen, reduce turnover, handle maintenance, and evictions and rent increases will truly determine their cost and value.

Just be real, take good care of your property, let the people know who you are and you live next door before they sign a lease, and do your full screening as you normally would.

I'm currently considering Zillow (but not finding much feedback on BP), as it would be a one stop shop for marketing, screening, and rent collection.

It seems like it is a one stop shop and can do everything from screening to payments for tenants.

Looking for one in or around Jersey City.What questions are best to ask when screening for one?
