Who rents to those with evictions?
It is not part of my business plan and nor do I plan on doing it. That said, there must be someone out there making it a business out of renting to those with evictions. I am constantly seeing people on craigslist or facebook housing sites looking for a place to live with an eviction (and often times multiple) on their record. Where do they find housing? Are they paying that much more to make it worth someone's while? I can't even imagine this as they clearly are not paying normal rental rates. Do they just try to find someone naive or someone they can sell their sob story to?

A lot of landlords don’t even check. They just want to fill the vacancy as quick as possible, not realizing that having a bad tenant is worse than having no tenant.
