This one way will get your phone ringing and there are many more activities you can do with little money that will make you big money.

Ok, maybe a phone can save you $$ and will suffice... 

I have talked with a couple of local lenders over the phone, but haven't found one that will fund a rehab project through conventional financing because I am not working. 

He's there when I need to be on the phone...when I'm trying to watch a webinar... 

All I have to do is pick up the phone and call.

Walk through together to make sure.Always get backup contractors because they get sick, die, leave you etc.Make sure contractor has his name or company on the permitCheck real estate commission for licenses of realtorsCheck secretary of state to make sure contractor is licensedIf you have mold, asbestos, radon make sure the contractor is certified to remove it.General contractors do not like to work with subs that they do not chooseProject manager can not have too much going on or else they will neglect youMake sure you get the general contractor sign over a document regarding he will be responsible for paying subs because you do not want his subs to turn around and sue you because they say he did not pay themGet the names and phone numbers of all subsRecord all phone calls. 

I showed the condo to a few people who pass my pre-screening questionnaire. 1) A couple + a dog who move from the next town want the condo starting on July 1.

My policy for rental screening is "no smokers allowed", however I understand that these tenants pay on time and are nice, quiet people.Because I suppose the damage is already done, should I just let them stay and go through the necessary rehab when they vacate eventually?

Then you can send mailer or google name to try and find a phone number.

I was thinking of putting in a yard post like the realtors use with the plastic box with information (rental criteria) and the phone number to call to get an application.Has anyone done this?
