			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When listing your home for sale counts the most I come through with extrodinary results! I offer Video tours of your home on the internet&#8230;.pictures are fine, even a still virtual tour is nice but a Video Tour says it all and simply attracts more buyers &amp; faster than any other agent can!  LESS THAN 1% of agents even offer this as a service to their client. Check this new listing out in Concord California&#8230;&#8230;<br />
&nbsp;<a href="http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3961-Chestnut-Ave_Concord_CA_94519_1119731055" title="http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3961-Chestnut-Ave_Concord_CA_94519_1119731055" target="_blank">http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhome&#8230;</a></p>

<p>I simply will spend more time and money marketing your property than any other agent in your market place.  Are you wondering why the old style way to sell your house by putting up a sign, some black and white flyers &amp; an open house wont sell your property or get you any offers????

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If you think that buying a rental/investment property ends when you purchase it your WRONG!</strong></p>
<p>We specialize in helping families/investors purchase investment properties. I am not going to talk about choosing the right property and what to look for in this blog, I want to talk about how to choose the right tenant afterwords the purchase.</p>
<p>Here are some common pitfalls that many landlords fall victim of:</p>
<p><strong>1. Tenant says &#8220;I have my own credit report can you use the one I have instead of pulling a new one?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>~This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.  The answer is NO! or I mean no sorry.  Why would they have a problem with you pulling your own??? Most often its because they are hiding something.  I have seen a lot of fake and/or doctored reports.  DONT DO IT!</p>
<p><strong>2.  Not verifying income or better yet self employed with no way to document earnings!</strong></p>
<p>~Dont cut corners and forget this step.  If you cant verify they have a job then THEY DONT HAVE ONE! What if they default on the lease or thrash your home how are you going to go after damages?? A tenant is less likely to default or thrash your rental if they have a good job period.  Most companies will require you to send in a form to verify this information. </p>
<p><strong>3.  Verify previous residence and if rent was paid on time.</strong></p>
<p>~What if you cant verify the previous rent history? Its usually because IT&#8217;S BAD and/or they left on BAD TERMS! Most of the time the tenant will try and hide this history by putting on the application that they lived with a friend or relative when they actually didn&#8217;t. </p>
<p>This just scratches the top of the ice burg.  As you can see from the items above this isn&#8217;t Rocket Science people!&#8230;I think a lot of times new investors get so excited about the purchase they forget about the importance or screening the tenant and just want a tenant in right away without taking the time to pick a good one.  If you purchase a investment property through me I will not only find a great property I will assist you in the rental process or if you want to take the next step I can property manage it for you for a fee.  We property manage exclusively for our clients and do not advertise this service to the public. </p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>
