Far easier to fix you mistakes.New tenants that pay late have been improperly screened.

In such cases the selling broker must enter zero in the Selling Broker Commission field (6a) of the Bid Submission screen.* The Selling Broker/Agent submitting this bid is a Purchaser or has an ownership interest in the entity purchasing the property.YesNoSo yes you can purchase, no you cannot get a commission on that purchase if you are an agent and buying.

That POS Realtor was long gone and made their $10k in commission.....but we were stuck with picking up all the pieces - finishing their job - and having to coach an owner into reality.  2) The average Realtor has no idea how rental property pricing works, what attracts tenants, how to screen tenants, and how to sell investment properties. 

The goal is to get the unqualified to self screen out. 

@Kevin Ely  I'm in Cleveland but work on the other side of town so don't have a lot of current knowledge of Warrensville Hts - I know it as solid blue collar neighborhoods but you need to screen well.....

Market your property listings, benefit from custom offers, make use of tenant screening, and collect rent online if you’re a landlord.

A loan officer actually told me that since the crack down on the  industry there is a strong possibilty that there would be someone checking up on the property to see if was being used as intended.  

I talk to all the neighbors during the renovation, do a lot of tenant screening, inspect every month or two, and rent to people I can build a rapport with.

Im assuming they are coming from basement and i do notice the back end of basment wall has an opening where they built an extension so assuming i would need to close this off and seal up all cracks/openings to ensure this does not happen again.

I ask this because as much as I'd like to give total responsibility to the old tenants, the system I use for background checks and all is cozy so I'd either have to provide my old tenants access to cozy or I'd have to screen the leads that they attract myself and then approve the good ones and relay that to my tenants.
