Tenant Selection
Determining which tenant to rent your investment property out to can be one of the most confusing areas of property management for many real estate investors, especially if you’re new at it.
On one hand, you want to make sure you choose the most responsible tenant possible; a tenant who will pay his or her rent on time and one who can be relied upon not to destroy your property. You want to make a profit from renting your home, not have it sit empty for weeks while you make repairs from previous tenants. Yet, at the same time, you must make sure that you abide by fair housing laws.
