What has been the biggest success for you as a newer investor friendly agent between the age of 25-35? 

I am very diligint about confirming their past rent history, reaching out to previous landlords, verifying income (if they work), but I feel nervous because the rents are very high, that maybe the owner just took whoever was willing to pay this premium rent so that he could list the building for higher amount and get out quickly.I've requested the seller send me the background checks and income verification they did when they accepted the tenants last month, but I didn't actually write that into my offer because I didn't think of it until I got an accepted offer.

It adds a little friction, but it’s been cheaper than dealing with an eviction.For those of you with more units or operating in multiple states, how are you handling screening and verification?

Ideally something that:Covers damage, liability (eg. stained linens, broken TVs, etc.)Integrates easily (API or simple per-reservation purchase)Reasonably priced per bookingOption for Guest Screening (ID Verification)Anyone using Safely, Truvi, Proper Insurance with per-booking options, or something else?

A quick example: an investor buys a house with aging HVAC, knob and tube wiring, and a roof with only a few years of life left.

.• Verification: Not all auction properties are good deals—title issues, liens, or property condition can complicate transactions.## How do you source your Leads ?

Income verification, rental history calls, and reference checks are where most new PMs get burned.

I would try to find some reviews and verifications before you proceed
