Vendor and Prospect Vetting Protocol
National Standards for Asset Protection and Tenant Risk Mitigation (2026)
In the management of a $20 million+ real estate portfolio, risk mitigation begins at the point of entry. As a National Real Estate Strategist with 12 years of investing experience and 11 years as a licensed agent, I apply the same clinical rigor to screening prospective tenants as I do to institutional vendors. This Vendor and Prospect Vetting Protocol is the framework used by Waters & Associates Group, LLC to protect Net Operating Income (NOI) and ensure asset longevity.
