Don’t lower your standards for anyone.  

@Mary Winter let's look at this logically.Who has checked utilities to see if supposed to be in tenant's name per lease and if they are?

@Humberto Valle You'd probably have to check with the zoning department where the land is located to see what you can and cannot do with mobile homes.

We post similar rules on the fridge and is in multiple pre-check in communications.  98% of guests are great. 

@Joshua Biondi I would check out Thumbtack.com. 

Just make sure you understand which part of the zip code the property is sitting in and even check it out on trulia.com for what the crime is like in the area.

Any advice or lessons learned from your experiences is greatly appreciated.Thank you.MarcoI use Zillow rental manager and it works great to list properties (cost $10 per week to list a property for rent), screen tenants (free for landlords, applicants pay $30 per person for credit report and background check) and collect rent (free for landlord and tenant unless they use a credit card then the tenant pays a fee), but it doesn’t report to credit agencies.

Please check out the book I co-authored called Lend to Live: Earn Hassle-Free Passive Income in Real Estate with Private Money Lending published by BiggerPockets.com/lendtolive.

@Danny Van- thanks  1) if you have some equity in the property - you might consider getting a HELOC in place now  in case you  want to use any  equity in the future ...Its  easier to get a heloc in place on a primary home as compared to a rental  2) contact your insurance agent and  ask for an  estimate for how the insurance coverage and premium will  change  3) consider  a proeprty management firm if you dont want to  self  manage  4)  get any forms and  processes  in place  (  leases / credit checks / bank accounts/  etc ....)

Other than that it's all goal dependent, do you want cash flow, stack big checks, and create tax savings?
