Ok, try Andy Sullivan, you can PM for his phone if you can't google it, he's in Bedford NHHe's very good, not cheap, and very busy. 

You can Google to locate them and go to meetup.com You can network via phone till you visit. 

Have you ever done any credit screening and seen someone's credit report?

Even the inspector was upset that he found 1 thing wrong as he wanted it to pass first time.So all in all, a story that was going well....until.I get a phone call about 18 months ago, apparently the neighbor (white) has started putting up racial slurs on the fence line (my tenants are black).

Need guidance on the following: Tenant screening - What kind of tenant screening is possible to do before acquisition of the property.

Usually in a transition area, on the phone, you should be able to get to the person at the city/county who handles issuance of permits for building and remodeling can tell you a bunch about activity in a neighborhood.  

If you don't have a business yet, at least get a Google Voice phone number so you don't put your personal phone number "out in the wild".

Typically, the first step is a phone call to the tenant and owner and if that doesn't work a warning letter is usually sent.

Carefully screen PM companies.

I appreciate the information I haven't had to do it in Broward County...I know in Dade I didn't have much luck on the phone unless I knew there was an open case and was able to catch the inspector assigned to it while they were in the office and available to take calls (tough to do because it's usually only two hours a week prior to like 8:30am).
