Investor from Pittsburgh PA
I am a newer investor who started only about 2 years ago. I have accumulated a multi unit (duplex), which I am currently living in one side and renting the other, and a single family that I rent out. I am in the process of looking for a 3rd rental now. I've so far been lucky with my tenants. But I am getting nervous about the screening process. I happened to know my first tenants, and the second property came with tenants. I have not yet had to market a rental or screen. Any tips for when this happens?

Hi Alisha, Welcome to Bigger Pockets. Pittsburgh is a great market to invest in as you have noticed. As a Realtor serving the Pittsburgh region, I am currently working with investors both local and remote. In so doing, we have gone out to various properties and have met the tenants. And each time we have relied on our gut instincts. Often you can pick up on clues as you meet people. Having someone with you enables you to bounce these ideas off of each other. I always ask for rental history on properties for my clients and am thorough in my approach. If you would like to talk further about your specific interests, I am here for you. You can find my contact information in my profile. Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Gary
