How do you find great tenants?

We set our requirements and have interviewed so many people. I’m wondering if our requirements are too strict.

The market is great. The house is awesome, great neighborhood. People want to live here.

3 families have offered me a year cash up front to skip the requirements. (I don’t get it. What happens year 2?)

My requirements are:

3x DTI

Stable job/income

700 FICO

Good rental history

No cats

1st, last, security upon move in.

Advertising on Zillow, Hotpads, Trulia.
