Am I getting all the rent?
29 November 2011 | 6 replies
This could be totally legit, but it occurred to me that it would make a pretty good scam if they wanted to keep some of the rent - I've never met the tenant, never seen a rent check, and a copy of the lease could be changed easily.How can I tell for sure if they're sending me all the rent?

Generally you're going to pay some percentage of gross rents collected (8 - 12%), many will pay a finders fee for new tenants (1/2 - 1 mo rent), some will have maintenance mark ups (+10%), etc etc.You may also want to ask for a copy of their lease agreement that they will be using with potential tenants in your property.See what sort of occupancy rates they are achieving.Ask for a market analysis of what they believe your property should rent for.See if they have some references you can contact.A lot of people seem to make these decisions on dollars and cents... that said, I've never heard a horror story on here about someone complaining about paying 10% when they could get it for 8%... the horror stories I hear are in communication, lack of trust, poor screening, not following through with inspections, etc etc etc.

Asking the right questions
22 December 2011 | 3 replies
Hi,I'm starting to email some agents with listings in my area for multi-family units.I want to know what the gross revenues are, the NOI and what they are including in the expenses.I'd like to know the cap rate, any defered maintenance, if there's a mortgage, the terms, does seller want to assign, etc.Would be good to have a sort of form that I could copy and paste when I email them.Basically looking for the "industry" way to ask these questions.Thanks for any and all input.

Tenants w/o SSNs...legitimate?
30 December 2011 | 20 replies
Of course, landlords have the right to refuse tenants if they don't give an ss#, so it's up to you, but don't be surprised when someone you believe to be a citizen doesn't provide a ss#.That said, when I was renting, I was always happy to provide the landlord a current copy of my credit report and criminal background history that I pulled myself.
