In this situation should I accept the ex-husband as the guarantor and screen him normally like the rest of the applicants?

Do you use a 3rd party for screening?

@Oladosu Segun good screening! 

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

When I was flipping I noticed that the attraction was broken out in two categories:The woman wanted to see improvements in the kitchen, baths & closetsThe man wanted to see that it had a nice basement, garage & yardThe woman's desires seemed to add greater value than those on the man's list....and the woman's list always took precedence if the budget couldn't handle all of them.

Just like the last comment, the list of problems we have is just too long to add here, but from the bad screening of the tenant to the work order that you pay and NEVER get done, you will need to inspect your property every time "they complete a work order." 

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

In my opinion you can't fail unless you don't screen tenants correctly, buy in a bad neighborhood, or get over your head with a rehab.

One of my major screening criteria is you must have the deposit and first month's rent plus pet deposit within 48 hours of acceptance.
