@Aaron K.I screen my tenant prospects extremely thoroughly including credit evection job application and background check etc. and that allows me to entertain tenant prospects with marginal credit or past credit issues.

My first concern is protecting myself from fraud, which I have dealt with in the past.  

As of this past week, he gave that property management company notice that he would not be using their services after the termination of this lease.  

Great, now we get the same copy and paste message from more than one  offerer of sophisticated and expensive programs out of Austin. 

for example smoking in the apartment or being loud past a reasonable hour.If an occupant who isn't on the lease is involved in domestic violence against my tenant, will I have the ability to evict them from the property even if the tenant wants them to stay?

I love the improvements VRBO has made in the past year. 

This is what a few lenders have told me in underwriting in the past.2) before you go crazy finding properties - ps just get an agent !

Bank loans, bank accounts, brokerage accounts, IRAs, 401ks, car loans, insurance companies, cruise ships, credit cards, ez pass, doctors and hospitals, drivers licenses, colleges, high schools, not to forget gun shops, google, ATT, Verizon, Comcast, Amazon, airlines, CIA, IRS, FBI, TSA, Homeland security, Target and Home Depot data breaches, security clearances, car dealerships, title companies, accountant, employers, landlords, credit bureaus, payroll companies, golf and tennis clubs, business clubs, volunteers at schools/churches, Russians and Chinese, etc. it’s more of a question as to who doesn’t have it as I see it.

If you look at the population growth over the past few years you can see how Bakersfield is growing at a rate faster than Fresno, and that is not set to stop any time soon.  

Is it worth holding past 5-7 years?
