For what it's worth I don't ever correspond with potential renters via email or text, they have to phone call me so I can talk to them to set up a showing (which will be a group showing - and it will be a group showing that they don't know it will be until they get there and discover it for themselves by seeing other potential renters there at the same time, we never ever do an open house, and especially never on a weekend, if people aren't interested enough to set a specific appointment to look at the place I don't want to waste my time with them). You might want to try it. Email and text is too anonymous, plus you can tell a whole lot more about a person by speaking to them. Taking control of the situation eliminates all the time wasters. You're a bit way too 'customer oriented' in the way you're showing your property for me. I prefer to control every aspect of it and maintain methods that are super productive and minimize my time involved.
I agree with this totally. I've found that there are alot of people who just want to window shop or dream . I value my time so screening is imperative from the beginning. "Either you will train your tenants or they will train you'' - John Schaub .

Like Dawn, I was originally with GMAC before Green Tree took over the mortgage. The only problem I've encountered with them was when I switched insurance companies . I had to deal with some run around but eventually every thing got sorted out. I pay online without any issues but you can avoid a service charge by mailing the payment in. Best of luck.
Here is the BiggerPockets recommended list , good stuff :
I enjoyed John Schaub's Building Weath one house at a time. Easy read and very informative . It's not a book specifically geared towards wholesaling though. It covers a wide range of real estate topics with strait forward advice. A great newbie book which has made it onto my "favorites" bookshelf. Good luck !
I've used a havaheart trap for a similar problem :

Worked great but chances are if you've seen one possum there are probably more. You might also end up catching other creatures which reside in the area so keep that in mind. Cut apples as bait worked best for me. Good luck.
