Would you rent to this potential tenant?

The good:

Clean cut, well spoken, has 2 verified sources of income (one is a transportation business he owns) and meets our income qualifications, good payment history for the past 2 years according to credit report, good communication with me, jumped through all of my hoops.

The bad:

While the past 2 years are "clean"....Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in 2013, Eviction (says he co-signed with a girlfriend), 2 divorces (which led to bankruptcy) and a "failure to operate vehicle with license" on criminal report. 

Says he is looking to move to "save money". This is a 2/ 1 zero lot-line attached.

This is my first ever property and I wanted your thoughts. I appreciate your wisdom on this.

That eviction is too soon - this tenant would not meet my criteria.
