Sure, we get phone calls ate 3 in the morning because a kitchen light blew out, but that is very rare and even though I get a little angry it is still a nice feeling to know that my tenants have the ability to resolve problems when they get no satisfaction from managers.My wife and I carry separate cell phones for our tenants to call us.To manage our properties, our lease agreement is 24 pages that consists of all our rent payment and eviction policies.

It is advisable to do your due diligence and ask about such things as how long have they been in business, are alternative assets their sole focus, are they BBB accredited and rated, are they a regulated financial institution, have they ever been sanctioned by any regulatory bodies, how many accounts and how much in assets do they administer?

I’m 24 years old, I’ve been a mechanic for the last 5 years and the toll it’s taken on my body is misery at this point.

On the other hand, I acknowledge all offers, let the buyer's agent know should the seller wish to counter or reject I will also forward that immediately, and forward them to the owner....but if a buyer's agent tries to "demand" a response, and starts the "I'll call your broker routine" I remind them that the owner is not obligated to respond, I'll forward it if he does, here's my broker's cell number, but in the mean time you're going to the bottom of the callback list and "have a good life", in other words.....

Google voice is free and will ring to your cell phone

the folks I know that have the stomach for this type of investing have their own custom scoring system I have often enquired how they do it .. since 95% of the tenants will be below 600 ficoWhat they look for is habitual non payment of little things like cell phone and direct TV etc etc.what they over look and don't count is medical and eviction is out.you just need to pick the best you can... and maybe your tenant base is not that bad but in C to D in the mid west this is your tenant base. 

I just put in the top cells of excel the labels ¨Property Address city zip, owner address city zip, Notes on property condition, month/year added, contact info,  Owner NameEach comma represents a new cell.

Put the sale price on an addendum not in the body of the contract.
