Checking criminal history .........  

BTW, if they are dirt bags, criminals or cookin up a new batch of chemicals, they won't ever open the door. 

Then we have a criminal who claims obvious bogus ownership and has skipped one and attended the second with nothing but words. 

This limits my ability to see if they are employed, any information on prior rental history, criminal history etc.I planned to ask the owner to get them to sign a month to month and tell them that my intention is not to put them out after each month (which it isn't) but in case things go bad I do not want to endure it for a year.

And I don't want residents having to install other things themselves or tacking up some offensive confederate flag in the window. 

Time to play offense and not defense. 

I suspect the brokerage community is going to start telling their agents to turn in violators.one of my Oregon bird dogs just put a sign in the yard neighbor got pissed off as they wanted the house turned him into the state .. its kind of like getting a DUI  cost you about 10 to 15k first offense and a cease and desist..So then I went on to ask her about transactional funding as I have been a party to that a bunch of times and wanted to make sure I was legal.. she said NO way.. they deem that as some sort of fraud.. idea is the lender and wholesaler are in cahoots and scheming and marketing a property they dont' own and its prima facia evidence when they see two deeds in one day and a middle man payout.so bottom line you need to get into title and stay there for a few weeks BEFORE you market the property.. but as the regulator said.. they only respond to complaints right now.. so don't piss off any sellers or agents  LOL. 

Thoroughly VET prospective tenants (criminal, background & credit history), check out their social media, get references.

It runs credit, criminal and eviction all for $26.00I do not like tenants mailing checks.

I don't use air fresheners because they can be offensive as easily as refreshing.A clean, neutral odor is all I want.
