Hello,If you are wanting to boost your credit you may want to do these three things:1.

I just purchased a three unit in the vine  neighborhood and have been looking at a couple others.

As a new user to BP but someone who has done well with the three properties I’ve owned, I was taking a look through the forums seeing what screening tools others were using and thought it was interesting how much of an emphasis the 2% rule & 50% rule played out as a starting point for many.

Remember you're also interviewing him to see how he can help you reach your goals (if you make money, he makes money).I would also recommend meeting at least three brokers before making a decision. 

The home inspection report states that this is sufficient for each unit.What would you do?

My three questions:1) Should I require each adult to complete an individual application, with that application including a section to list other adults who will be residing there?

I am the nicest guy in the world, will try to help tenants any way I can, but I don't tolerate three things: not paying on time, willfully damaging my property, or causing any kind of legal or situational trouble with the city/neighbors/law. 

The tools on BP are probably sufficient to provide quantitative answers for you but I can tell you based upon personal experience that negative cash flow is not a good idea unless it's purposeful, specifically as a tax write-off.

What would be considered sufficient equity in a property?

These are typically bedrooms without sufficient fire egress (e.g. an attic bedroom with no fire escape; a basement unit, etc).
