Long distance tenant placement

[Christina Colon]

Hey everyone!!! Looking for some assistance...

I am currently living in Nebraska ( active duty Airforce) with a rental in Iowa (4 hours away). I listed our rental on zillow to test the waters of marketing our rental. I have a prospective tenant who is interested in our home that will be available September.(I will add this home is 1 of 2 higher end rentals we have that rent for 2500-3000 monthly.) Her credit is bad👎 from a divorce 4 years ago and she is looking for a 3 year lease.

The tenants we currently have in our homes also had less than great credit, but had the money to show proof in bank statements. The also are amazing tenants who pay on time. What are some pointers or things I should be cautious of?
