That tells me she is unlikely to complain if you access the property. 

Often this isn't a paper throwaway filter like a central A/C has, but a section of wire or plastic mesh in the front grille that you can pull out and wash. 

(I do give her updates b/c if anything happens to me she should know where to find things and who to contact.) 

She told me shes looking for a friend whos a truck driver.

Along with something posted near the TV or modem/router. 

However, what you're saying doesn't mesh up.

If they get damaged, you pay someone to replace the screen mesh and charge it to the tenant when they move out.  

My wife's mother is looking to invest in real estate with me, she has a 100k available in actual CASH.

I want to rent to my applicant of choice but when I called to approve her as the tenant, she informed me she couldn't move in on the date originally discussed.

A week goes by and my friend tells me she can’t do it anymore and then my dad kicks me out of his house and now I’m living with my old step mom.... so another week goes by and still keep in mind I never finished to application, the secretary turns the application in and never said anything.
