However, I work full time and need to hire a great Virtual assistant to call and screen for motivated sellers.

In regards to C neighborhoods I have found screening tenants properly is the key.

I use www.PetScreening.com to handle all my screenings.

.- Great tenant screening- Doesn't just look for warm bodies.

I thought I remembered that high income individuals were hit with higher taxes based on being "Service Providers" like this screen shot from some tax software.

In regards to property management, it's all about how much trust you have on your property manager - I personally think you can should manage the property financials yourself and let the property manager handle the day to activities such as leasing, tenant screening, move in / move out.

As long as the flue is open and the screen is closed, the likelihood of a fire is tiny.As for your liability, require renters insurance on the part of the tenant and make sure you have your own acceptable landlord policy that will reimburse you to repair/rebuild to an updated standard plus cover all your lost rent. 

It is at a cost of $40 per adult tenant.For Tenant, if they are interested in signing a lease:1.Fill out preliminary hard copy application.2.Verify application for 3 times monthly rent income (call employer), pay stubs, no felony, no evictions, at least 1 year on job.3.Query in State Courts Online system.4.Query Facebook, searching for anything “negative”. 5.Query County Assessor website that they live in, looking for homes owned/foreclsoures in process. 6.Contact prior landlords (last two if possible).7.If applicant passes preliminary screening, send online application ($40 fee) via website MySmartMove.com.8.Review screening for 600+ credit score (B class property), on time payments, debt to income, eviction and criminal history.For Prior Landlord(s):1.How long were they tenants at address?

Rental demand is incredibly high in Newark but you need to do really good and careful screening to place tenants who won’t give you problems.

Doors with direct access to the pool through that wall shall be equipped with an alarm which produces an audible warning when the door and/or its screen, if present, are opened.
