Tenant screening for home hacking
We (a couple) are planning to live in a 4 bed, 3bath and renting out the 3 other bedrooms. We want advice on tenant screening, as well as if it is a smart idea to let one of the rooms be occupied by another couple. The driveway is not large enough to accomodate 6 cars, and the common areas may not support that many people either.

Quote from @Mason Liu:
If you are having parking and overall space constraints, do not allow for couples, plain and simple.
For tenant screening, use a third party software (Rentredi, Avail, etc) to do a credit report/criminal history, eviction reports on all prospective tenants. Get references from their previous landlords.
Yes I agree with Mason, straight and simple. Yes Avail and Hemlane allows you do the background and credit check for the tenants. As for marketing your units, I usually just use FB Marketplace and set a specific criteria and past to all lead inquires, before you spend too much time entertaining these leads. @Albert Bui @Carlos Valencia
