TheLizard posted:So the property management company I'm using got an application and sent me the signed lease a few days ago. I ran their names through Maryland's court case look up and there are a lot of hits for judgements and liens. However, I don't have their credit report so I can't see their past addresses. Hopefully it's different people (their names are not uncommon) but I guess we'll see. I move in 2 weeks. This sucks. Did your management company not run their credit as part of the application/screening process? I would think any liens and judgements would ding their scores to a point your management company would have approached you with the red flags before accepting a signed lease. If there is still time before you sign/accept the lease, you could always request a co-signer or even a few months rent upfront.

timpanihilistic posted:A few months ago I started working for a company that runs background searches on tenants applying for rental housing, whether it be through a private landlord or a property management company. In that time I've learned quite a bit about property management in general, so if anyone has questions about tenant screening and selection I can probably shed some light on the topic. Anyway you could provide us with an email for us poor souls without PM's?

Must Love Dogs posted:They've identified the general vicinity where they want the property, but they do not have the land yet. They also aren't wedded to the notion of new construction: if the right building to be renovated opens up, they'll go with it instead. The down payment's all lined up and we're pulling together the business plan next week. In addition, other recommended steps like establishing a trust are being prepared. You may want to approach a civil engineer. Most cities will want a full site plan/design documents for multi-unit/family units past 4.

DNova posted:Assuming there is no right of way or the expansion exceeds it, it's a normal thing to be paid some amount when they grab a slice off your parcel, right? Is it negotiable? Yes, if the state/city/county needs right of way from a property owner it involves the entity paying the landowner, either through money or through agreed services. If negotiations don't work out the government entity will condemn the land needed and pay the land owner whatever the land is appraised for. Typically its a last ditch effort as it takes awhile to condemn property. Usually the entity will just route the road through another property owner who is happy to sell.

DNova posted:There's a deal where some guy needs money asap and has some land that apparently is going to be sliced off for a road expansion. He claims the state/whoever will pay as much as he wants for the entire parcel, which would still be worth a good amount after the work is done. Sounds very speculative. You can double check some of his claims by researching with your states DOT. The project should be listed in their program of improvements which typically plans out 2 to 5 years. That said, I think he's full of it. No way a state would straight up say they'll pay him whatever he wants for the land. Especially in these "government is bad lets cut everything" times. Its not uncommon for land speculators to hold onto pieces of land adjacent to planned roadways. However, this really isn't for selling parts for ROW. Its mostly for the development opportunities it brings in the future

Just found out today my current tenants are going to stay for another year! This is the first time in 4 tenants that I won't have to flood Hotpads, craigslist, zillow, to fill the vacancy. This is a nice turn of pace with this house as just a few months ago I was replacing the sanitary service to the tune of $2.5k. I know, It could have been worse.

I've been using Cozy for this latest tenant and love it. Takes a week to process rent and get to your account though, unless you pay for higher service
