House Hack Process Sharpening

Team,

As i reach my first term of turnover for my house hacked property, I am running into a few hurdles that are helping me grow, but also sharpen/adjust my processes. One issue I am running into is that I do not allow a walkthrough of the property/room for rent until a background check has come back and the person is not a wanted criminal (exaggeration). Some people have issues with this because the background check costs $35 and they might not like the room in person. Am I doing this part wrong? My initial tenants didn't have a problem with this, and it leads me to believe that this is a "depends on the person" type of thing. I try to offer a full facetime walk through, but I try as part of the process, to not let someone who hasn't filled out an application or background check in the home. I also explain that this is for my current tenants' safety and would be for theirs as well should they move in.

I understand how apartments do it. But i think the very nature f house hacking is a bit different. Any advice helps, thanks!
