I personally believe that running a tenant credit check is a must to ensure you are approving the best applicant possible.  In doing so, however, you (the landlord) are subjecting yourself to the regulations of the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Housing Act. There are many requirements that affect landlords who use screening services. A tenant screening report which can include; credit, eviction, criminal, and other relevant reports are undoubtedly subject to both of the Acts. Landlords must establish reasonable procedures and criteria to assure compliance with the laws and must also be consistent with application of the procedures and criteria. For instance, if you have a criteria that you won't rent to anyone who has filed bankruptcy you must always follow this criteri...

Craigslist is a great tool for listing rentals, or homes for sale. I've heard more property managers say they get more leads from craigslist than from any other source.  Managing my own rentals, I can say the very same thing.  Craigslist is an excellent medium to get the word out about your vacancy or home for sale.What I want to address today is not just how great craigslist is for listings, but I want to show you how to make your listing STAND OUT from the rest. Pictures.  The default craigslist layout is text only, formatted in old style times new roman font.  As a buyer, seeing any ad in the default text layout that craigslist provides turns me off instantly.  Craigslist provides the option of adding pictures; however, they show at the very bottom of the ad, which can often be off t...

When you are renting properties it might seem easiest to allow the first person who applies rent the house or apartment. However, it is important to use tenant screening before you allow them to rent your properties. A tenant's history is going to tell you a lot about who they are and how they'll behave. If they've made messes out of properties, leave before their lease is up, or get the police called on them, you can be sure that they'll do the same thing at your rental property. When a person or family has done things in the past, they will most likely repeat them. Credit Report It is vitally important to make sure that your tenants are going to be able to pay there rent. Tracking down tenants to collect rent each month is not something that anyone wants to do. Therefore, you want to ...

Maui Hawaii South Shore Condo Listings Newsletter - February 2013 I'm really surprised to see the small number of new condo listings coming on the market.  When there used to be 90 on average there are now only 60 in the past 30 days.  That's a significant drop in inventory.  13 units are already tied up and pending, primarily in the $300,000 and under price range.  The following offerings are some highlights of what's still actively for sale in Kihei, Wailea and Maalaea.  If you're ready to buy, don't wait any longer for prices to get better. search Wailea Maui homes for sale ~ search Kihei Maui homes for sale------------------------------------------------------------1.  Studio Starter, North Kihei,  $169,000.00- fully furnished vacation rentable studio apartment with peekaboo ocean v...

Kilohana Ridge in Kihei Maui Hawaii, decked out for the holidays Without the snow and icicles, it never quite looks like Christmas on Maui, so every little thing helps.  This nice display of pointsettias and the wreath really dress up the Kilohana Ridge entrance for a festive look.  This Kihei subdivision at the edge of Wailea is a great place to live and many mainlanders have vacation homes here.  It's just a short walk to Keawakapu Beach which is one of the best on the south shore. search Wailea Maui homes for sale ~ search Kihei Maui homes for sale   Buying or selling a home on Maui?  That's what I do.  Let me help YOU.
