@Jason Gonzales I am learning this rather quickly. The amount of time spent and the quality of work is just not the same. I have decided to outsource those jobs for sure now and it is also nice since you  are also helping another fellow professional in their field. That is why I love real estate because we get money and then we give money to the others in the community and then economy as well!

@Courtney Walker I see I see smart. I was running back the option between a monthly fee or a deposit and I went with the refundable deposit. Next time def not doing that. I’ll make it nonrefundable for sure. Thanks again for the advice! 

@Joe Cassandra

What criteria do you use to vet the property management companies? 

@Courtney Walker 

How come you started doing nonrefundable? 

@Bradley Padula thank you my friend! 

What questions/system do you use to screen the tenants? 

@Joe Cassandra thank you very much. And I’ve heard great things about property management as well so I figured it just depends on getting experience and vetting companies. I’m planning on starting myself for now and as I scale I’ll get a management company. 

@Michael Thach

Thank you very much. 

@Lynnette E. omg that is crazy! I can’t believe those are real requests. I will definitely keep a hard no for those things. 

Thanks for your advice and help. 

@Patrick McGrath awesome! I’ll check it out. Thank you very much for the advice and tips. 

@Michael Thach really good advice. I’m going to be self managing so I’m taking all the necessary steps myself. I did the national search and have been following up with references and such. Do you have a particular one you recommend or use?
