When it comes to placing a tenant, you cannot over state how important it is to complete your due diligence, market aggressively and then follow the guidelines you set in place. To get good candidates, you need to have strong online presence. We start by using a professional photographer. Those sharp HD images help people get a good sense of the home, which is powerful if that potential tenant is still in another state getting ready to relo. We use over 50 websites and show properties evenings and weekends. 

Next, set up your guidelines. We evaluate potential candidates based on credit scores, rental history, job history and income level and finally their criminal history. Because we have established criteria, our background checks and decisions are consistent. 

Next, have an iron clad lease and procedures. Spelling everything out really helps take the uncertainty out of the equation. Our lease and addenda is 26 pages in length but also eliminates surprises. And because we conduct multiple pre move in inspections and document the condition with over 300 move in photos prior to a tenant, you can rest assured the home is protected. 

We welcome any property management questions you may have and are happy to share our knowledge.
