Publishing criteria (like “3x rent income” or “650+ credit”) is fine, but it can open you up to unnecessary back-and-forth or legal gray areas if phrased wrong.Best practice:Keep your criteria written down internally (income, credit, rental history, etc.).Apply those same standards to every applicant and keep a record of your process.When someone inquires, you can share your criteria in writing or over email so everyone gets the same info — that’s what shows consistency.If you want, I can share a quick example of a fair housing–friendly screening checklist I use with my clients, just message me and I’ll send it over.

Some affiliates publish sample packets, but many don’t, and/or their websites are hard to navigate.

Luis, lead with credibility you already have: publish a simple one‑pager story, your valuation skillset, and a tight buy box, then share weekly micro‑case studies of real deals you’ve underwritten to attract investor conversations; offer value first by bringing vetted opportunities or handling due diligence/PM ops in exchange for a fair split; stack warm intros at Chicago meetups and online investor groups, ask for two referrals per call, and keep a consistent update cadence; next step today: pick one market, underwrite five live listings, post your numbers for feedback, and DM three potential partners with your one‑pager and those deals.
