They test landlords and sellers (Realtors) to see if they are in compliance with regulations.They might hand you the money, get a receipt and call you later to cancel the application, so know how long they have to cancel, if they can, and be entitled to all monies back.

Thanks Charles cnbc.com This is just a test.

I think evictions arent the worst thing, rather have a working family that had been evicted before in my rentals then a drug dealing tenant, dog fighting tenant, deatbeat tenant, Ive had all of the above and the evicted tenant was the best of the bunch.

Hi I am new to BP and REI I want to find a mentor who can help me put some of the knowledge I have learned from various books and seminars to the test.

Commercial takes in a large arena of transaction, I assume you mean a residential complex, not a drug store.

For example, they could be using the rent money for drugs, to make car payments, to pay child support, etc.Just because someone is divorced is no reason to not rent to them, and just because someone is dealing with legal issues (assuming they aren't on trial for a crime where they may be incarcerated) doesn't necessarily make them a non-paying tenant either.That said, it's actually ILLEGAL for you to not rent to someone who is divorced.

Who tests the GFIs before they move in?

l quick here.I just finished about a month of testing this with my students and I thought some of you might appreciate this too.

it's already been suggested to get the past energy usage so i won't suggest that, however, i would suggest asking the electric company if they do free energy tests.progess energy will come out to the house, test window seals, check out energy usage on appliances, check insulation, etc and see what can be improved to save on electricity. personally, i couldn't imagine keeping it on 73 all the time. that's warm to me. the $400 bill for a 1600 sqft house during the coldest winter on record is not a surprise.

Since you have no mortgage, you should protect your equity through the use of a time tested agreement to sell which will likely offer you better protections against potential loss.
