Low income tenants & evictions/felonies

[Tony Schober]

Those that rent to low income tenants:

If I were to institute a policy of no prior evictions and felonies during the screening process, do you think I would eliminate my entire rental base?

What are your standards when it comes to these 2 categories. I know some go back 5 years, and am not sure if this is because it is just impossible to find low income tenants w/out one of these two items in their past or if it is just a business decision to compromise and get a tenant into the property.

What are your thoughts/policies?
