Real Estate: 6 Tips To Finding Good Tenants

As a, Real Estate, property manager, and, real estate, investor, here are 6 tips to finding good tenants.  I offer my clients the peace of mind of, long term tenants, who take care of their property and pay their rent on time.

Finding good tenants,  is the goal of all, real estate investors, especially out of town investors who can’t manage their properties themselves.

What does a Real Estate Property Manager do?

As a, Real Estate, property manager, I offer a unique proposition for my local market of , Fort Myers, Fl. I will:

  1. market your listing on the MLS, Zillow, Apartments.com, Craigslist
  2. screen tenants over the phone before scheduling showing appointment
  3. show property to qualified tenants
  4. do background check on all adults, including rental references and job
  5. If qualified, prepare legal lease and collect holding deposit
  6. organize any repairs needed to get property ready for new tenants
  7. move in tenants and collect first month rent and security deposits
  8. be the agent for any notices for maintenance
  9. organize or dispatch any maintenance repairs
  10. All these services are FREE with the listing of the home or condo.
  • My fee is the standard one month rent that other realtors collect just for showing your property and putting in the MLS

Off loading the task of finding good tenants to a, real estate, property manager, limits the occurrences of having bad tenants who:

  • don’t pay their rent on time

Hard Money Lender do not offer 100% Financing

Make no mistake, hard money lenders, need borrowers to deploy their capital and get a return on investment for their capital partners. They often enjoy repeat business, real estate investing, aren’t typically one-time borrowers, so asset-based lenders like, hard money lenders, or, private money lenders, value the business relationships they develop with quality borrowers.

Real estate investing, with no money down or little or no cash is to borrow from, Hard money lenders, who charge high interest for short term loans. When, hard money lenders, provide a loan, they want to be confident that the, borrower, is able to repay the loan on time. If the, borrower, isn’t able to pay back the loan, this creates a great deal of extra work, stress and potential financial loss for the lender. A strong, borrower, with a significant down payment (or equity in the property) and cash reserves has the best chance of obtaining a, hard money loan, and succeeding with their, real estate, project.
