 Hi Cameron! I am an assistant property manger in Maryland- here are my tips. Furnished Finder, Zillow, Facebook, and word of mouth is a good start. For screening applicants; RentSpree is a good option or you could reach out to a local Property Management Company and/or Real Estate Brokerage to see if they can just do the listing for your property to find and screen applicants for you. You'd most likely just pay a one time fee. Good luck!

Im in the process of buying my first property. A 4 bedroom house but there's an extra room we can use as a bedroom. As of right now me, my partner , and one other person is moving in but, I need to find a way to fill in the other 2 bedrooms. Is there any recommendations on sights or places I can find good quality tenants. Another question, What's the best way to screen and run a background check on them?

Hello all,

so I have been struggling to find a good tenant. I won't go into the challenges but finally found somebody good. They have a ESA dog that my insurance doesn't cover. Is there anything that can be done ? Or I'll have to just decline the application?

Hi!

I am new to BP community living in the suburbs of Richmond and investing around this region since last 5 years.

The tenant stated he is moving out at the end of the month and he is not giving me a 30 day notice. In the lease he is required to give a 30 day notice. to vacate the property. Can I pro rate the week and deduct this from his deposit?

He notifed me on April 8th his is moving out at the end of the month. 

He stated I am annoying him because he broke the lease agreement and I brought it to his attention. He has lied to me about different things and will not answer me and most of the time he just ignores me. He basically thinks he can violate the lease agreement and get away with it.

What can I do about this if anything? I am a new to this and need advice on how to handle this situation.

Hi, I'm someone who's been interested in REI for a year or two now and I'm just trying to take in as much information as I can. I only want to focus on buy and hold investing in long-term rentals, specifically SFH and MFH. I currently don't own any RE but plan to in the next couple years.

@Savannah Yingling thank you! I'm going to look into this : )

Thanks for your help! I’ve looked into furnishedfinder.com and they said there was quite a bit of demand in our area but I had concerns cause the resents I saw on there were pretty low—from $750-1200 per month. I am still considering it though because I also saw corporate housing websites and housing for PhDs as well. And we have furniture we can leave in the house. 

Hello BP community ,

I am based in Houston, buy and hold will be my investing strategy. Just starting out, looking to buy first rental property, looking at in and out of state at Markets.

Looking to target cash flowing properties. Looking to connect with likeminded individuals who can give me advice, share their experiences and the Do's and Don'ts. Thanks in advance for your help!

Join your local real estate investor Facebook groups. I would start there. Many of the groups on Facebook have a good amount of investors that are local to your marketplace. Perhaps, introduce yourself on there and then even attend some in person meetups. It should help build your network.
