This can help mitigate any "I left my big screen tv there!"

I can post a screen shot from one that's paid on time if someone wants.I see the reference to the county clerk's office but I'm wondering what this might mean if I were to put together a deal to purchase the property.

Prior to me taking over, the previous PM billed a flat rate to each tenant based on number of occupants. 

I have lease ups at $100, but I am listing the prop and screening the tenants.

The best one I have seen just has a flat $500 per closing plus E&O insurance and caps at 10 closings.

Of course good screening can mitigate SOME of this.When my rent was lower, I did things like replace lightbulbs in the hallway, make adjustments to the door closer to keep the door from slamming, installed a new peephole because the door installer painted over it with stain, picking up paper in the yard.

Let the seller know you are a buyer and that you do not circumvent contracts (to do so is known as Tortious Interference and it is illegal) that the agent can facilitate the transaction and as a professional he has listed the property to help you get to the settlement table, use state and local forms and disclosures and will screen you from rip-off artist and dishonest wholesales from taking advantage of you.

CCAP is just one source of information, to screen a tenant properly you need multiple sources of information.  

But unfortunately, you can't do any work to the property except tenant screening and rent collecting.  

It will be tough to renovate with a tenant there and you might be inheriting a bad tenant that you never personally screened.
