Some of my properties are in a heavily hispanic area where traditional tenant screening is not available because of the lack of a social security numbers.  

I also know Karren Hall of Udirect does wine & cheese socials.

We can be compassionate landlords, but we are not social workers.

It is also social.

Cold Call (aggressive-offense & cheap), Direct Mail (expensive & passive), Social Media (medium cost and efficient).6.

But I hope to go back to school this fall to become a social worker and do discharge planning for the VA or something else so I can apply my 12+ years of Army service toward another government retirement. 

I've been thinking about starting a website and/or facebook to direct people to our listings and spread the bug. 250+ 5 star reviews per year I can't help but think social media and/or a website would help with return customers and word of mouth bookings. 

We contact employer, landlord and personal references and perform social media and public data searches.    

Also a well socialized dog is a must, I take mine with me to Home Depot and Lowes all the time along with Pet Smart.  

There are quite a few projects that need to be done but tbey dont qualify for a cash out refi since the only income they have is social security ( there is over 200k equity).
