Jeremy you are the very definition of Arrogant Ignorance. 

Awesome @Brady Morgan I will definitely check out your YT channel.

Zachary,Your concerns about Cleveland are valid—high property taxes and stagnant population growth are definitely challenges to consider.

@Eric Smith, It really doesn't matter who you are selling your property to - unrelated or related party. 

How do you know who does and doesn't know what risks are involved when they make an investment?

@Jim LynchSome typical minimum tenant screening requirements look like the following, but it depends on your market:-Renter has a gross monthly income of 3x more than the monthly rent-Minimum credit score of 650-Renter must have no prior evictions-No felons (or other notable criminal history)There are a number of different tenant screening softwares out there such as Zillow Rental Manager, TransUnion SmartMove, etc.Be sure to complete an employment verification by contacting the renter's employer and confirm the details they shared with you, landlord verification (if they have a previous landlord), credit check, and background check.

Definitely in support of @Todd Anderson's reply above.

If you haven't connected with local people in your market there are several methods here.  

See which firms are doing the most business in your community and reach out to them.

Sounding redundant here, but if you are ever in the Conroe area, there's a meetup every third Thursday of the month.
