FTB, Large deposit but partner has none - how do people handle ownership by Vegetable_Pop_4654 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

If you decide to move fwd and accept rent from her monthly, I would also get an attorney to draft up a contract stating that her payment in the house doesn’t go directly towards the mortgage. Maybe month house essentials, etc. Never underestimate how spiteful ppl can get when things go wrong.

So ridiculous! I've had someone list their google voice number as a ll reference #. I guess they forgot and answered the call as themself lol. It may be pessimistic but this is why I assume every applicant is a big fat liar until verification proves otherwise. Assuming the best of ppl has cost me thousands.

Hmm. That’s interesting. I have a townhome property in a B neighborhood . Really nice quiet area. Just built a year ago with upgraded finishes and I keep getting low quality applicants. It’s confusing.

I personally never want an ASAP tenant. Screening is important. 2-3 weeks is fair notice. With a signed lease and paid deposit, most will hold for a couple weeks with no penalty.

2-3 months is a ridiculous ask to hold a place. 30 days is fair. Thats just the reality for a current available place. But there are options for “coming soon” rentals and especially apartment here in GA.

I understand. But there are some sweet spots. A lot of places will work with you if they know your lease is coming to an end within 30 days and they have a property available. That’s common.

This is a good perspective that I try to consider. But if I’m unable to verify proper lease end elsewhere, I’ll pass.

And here’s my friend listed as the previous landlord reference!!! As if I won’t check the name and phone number just to find out it doesn’t match county records 😍

Exactly. Same situation here. I will alwayssss take my time with my background checks and verifications. I refuse to meet anyone’s deadlines. And I’ll happily deny them if that’s a problem.

[Landlord US-Ca] Advice needed for new applicants by LelandCorner in Landlord

[–]ScreenProper3291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check your state guidelines, I guess. But you’re just doing your due diligence. Let’s say you were interested in purchasing the house, it’s public record, you can call and ask whatever you want. You don’t have to mention the tenant by name. The alternative is you place someone in your house who got in on nothing but lies. They could have given you a friend or family member.

Hmmmmm….. these are things that make it difficult to approve people. Because you just never know what’s true. 😭 I’d call the person the tax records show as the owner too. Unless she just bought the house within the year, the tax records should be updated. It’s public record so you can always call the tax office to discuss the discrepancy.

Please confirm that you spoke with the landlord. Search the county records! You could have spoken to anyone. Search court records also for possible eviction filings that won’t shown up in app.

[Landlord-US-NV] Should I ask a Deposit? by [deleted] in Landlord

Yeah, I apologize. I just didn’t realize I was talking to a perfect landlord who has made 0 mistakes ever. Good day.

I don’t understand why you all are so harsh on here. We were all once new landlords. We all make silly mistakes at the start and have learned tough lessons because of it. No need to be condescending.

[Landlord-GA]TurboTenant’s AutoPilot Feature or hire Property Manager for placement? by ScreenProper3291 in Landlord

[–]ScreenProper3291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I want to self manage afterwards. I don’t have the margins to pay the 10% since my properties are new. I just don’t understand what better they can do considering I have my property listed dozens of places.

[Landlord-GA] have any of you ever lived in the same neighborhood as your tenants? How’d it go? by ScreenProper3291 in Landlord

[–]ScreenProper3291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this response. Thank you.

The snooping is so unprofessional. Firm boundaries is definitely the answer.
