Just come up with a nice, standard response to copy/paste to weed out the dreamers and help the people who maybe can.  

Private lenders are an abundant source of funding, but there's no bricks-and-mortar establishment, no standard process other than SEC regulations, just your own ability to build relationships - a key skill for an agent / broker.My $0.02 ...

They might not require the "standard" 20%-25% down but they could be more stringent when it comes to the property cash-flowing as-is, you cash-flowing, etc.

With normal people a 24 hour showing notice is standard and you'd have new tenants moving in. 

You'll have to be able to differentiate between an emergency (roof coming off, front door smashed in and unlockable, no heat during winter, pipe burst and water leaking/pouring in the unit, etc) and what's something that can be added to a maintenance list and handled in one visit so the tenant knows how you'll take care of their problems.Doing the above involves setting standards for proper communication with you.

., then you should also be held to a higher standard.

For the peace of mind, and setting your standard-- I definitely go with a background check.

I'm referring to the standard practice that most people follow most of their adult lives of trading time for money, exclusively.

@Deanna McCormickI totally agree there is a difference. the reason my idea works is because all my properties are in a single area and most of the setup is the same so problems can be fixed by some kind of standard procedure.
