@Jim LynchSome typical minimum tenant screening requirements look like the following, but it depends on your market:-Renter has a gross monthly income of 3x more than the monthly rent-Minimum credit score of 650-Renter must have no prior evictions-No felons (or other notable criminal history)There are a number of different tenant screening softwares out there such as Zillow Rental Manager, TransUnion SmartMove, etc.Be sure to complete an employment verification by contacting the renter's employer and confirm the details they shared with you, landlord verification (if they have a previous landlord), credit check, and background check.

Does anyone have suggested property management companies they've used in Florida that they can recommend I reach out to, to see if we're a good fit for each other?

So I get 15-20 leads for each booking on Furnished Finder, which is a PITA because of all the manual follow-up and manual paperwork required vs AirBnB and others with instant booking and streamlined tenant approvals/p...

Something to consider...and if you are syndicating for your deals or a Sponsor you are partnering with make sure you get verifications for both your accredited and even those non-accredited you work with. 

It worked out fine, though each time I got a little less than advertised interest rate (about 9% vs 10%) and I had to send a reminder email to to get my money back, but I did get it back.I ask about others' experience, because I'm still not 100% sure it's not a ponzi. 

You can be sure they will continue to negotiate for, strategize and advise themselves.If the laws are similar where you are, you should consider if you want someone doing those things for you, and whether you are comfortable going toe-to-toe alone with a licensed professional on a $1.25 million purchase.

It is a freehold property, recently renovated from top to toe with high quality, large garden, and kept very clean at all times.

Hi all - I'm a new STR host and I recently had my first bad guest experience and have some questions about damage protection and guest verification on VRBO specifically.

You looked past a red flag right at the outset:"When application was made tenant was I am not going to to have my puppy with me so do not need pet fee or application"Total red flag.

Look up your local laws on how much notice you have to give to to end tenancy and then give them that notice.
