We recorded a lien against their property back in the summer of 2015.

Must times, it will also include real estate transactions that have been recorded.

I would highly recommend becoming familiar with zillow, and your local county records office for tax purposes alone...

I will however not be the broker on record for the company, but I would be the sales agent though.  

Hard Money will generally offer shorter term (con), fast decisioning/funding (pro), ability to build rapport/track record (pro)Lists could go on awhile...

Personal information that should be on your tenant application should include: - Driver's license # (also, make sure you make a copy of the license itself for your records.

I review their records and conduct a detailed inspection of the rental prior to renewal.

afterall who knows more about the performance, condition and track record of a property than the PM. who has been managing it the past several years??

a misunderstanding cost me one month of headaches for me, tenant and i have one abatement (hud not paying rent to owner because of list of repairs not taken care of) on my record. sometime the inspectors let you do small repairs/adjustments on the fly. understand that the vast majority of inspectors are not there to "get you": are there to make sure there is no danger/slumlording happening.
