I was having problems mitigating a roach problem in adjacent unit, and the reason i finally realized her less than desirable living habits were creating a roach breeding mega heaven, and incidentally discovered the above mentioned stuff...any small crack or hole in by an electrical outlet plate, had the most vile and gross path of roach feces, full on super highway paths of roach feces into any possible wall void.YUCK!!!

Screen your tenants and don't be in a rush to get someone in.

Thorough screening helps but nothing can predict for a statewide closure of businesses.

This is below what majority of the credit check sites cost (I use cozy), so I am wondering what resources landlords in Rochester, NY have been using or how they go about screening.

For my next purchase I was most definitely see to it that all tenants have vacated as a part of the sale agreement (or I will require my own screening of current tenants).

I got my inspection results back today and am wondering if I'm in over my head on some of these results.Townhouse specs: 1 bed/1 bath, 800 square feet with a yard and off street parking (no reserved spots) in Denver, CO for $362kInspection recommended actions:Install guttersCracks in brick- need to get a structural engineer to come and lookThe foundation is partially visible from areas of the crawlspace- need to have structural engineer look at this"Medium cracks" in sewage linePlumbing supply lines consisted of multiple materials to included galvanized pipe and potentially lead pipeWater heater 20 years oldFurnace is 20 years oldThere is a negative slope at one side of the home that increases the potential for water poolingAny recommendations on this possible investment would be greatly appreciated!

I rehabbed one many years ago and left the original asbestos siding in place but did replace the cracked and broken tiles with the newer cement fiber shingles. 

Sewer line is visibly cracked somewhere, but leaks could possibly exist in other spots in the slab.Fresh water line is visibly gushing under slab, definitely as a result of lifting the house.

I listed my house for rent yesterday, and within a couple hours, I showed/screened and accepted a tenant.

Phew, does pre-screening save a LOT of time!
