Even if he has no credit/criminal history in this country, you should process an application screening like you do for every applicant.

Tenant friendly state shouldn’t be a concern IMO, just screen tenants well, be professional and buy in a good location and you probably won’t ever have to deal with the courts.

Stay 100% in control of your property and only use professional mngt who screens tenants and uses licensed vendors.

By following a structured screening process, investors and stakeholders can make informed decisions based on comprehensive evaluations of potential sponsors.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Thanks,Ani I recommend putting in a security screen door.

In my experience the basics for a functional RE based CRM are:Custom Fields for Data Objects (Leads, Prospects, Applications, Buildings, Units, etc...)A Screening Engine (background/credit checks, employment verification, etc)Online Rental Application (this should automatically run the application through screening)Ability to mass email/sms leads and tenants to provide informationSurveys/Inspection formsI've been building real estate CRM tools for years.

Realtors, investors, future investors, lenders, wholesalers etc...I want to start investing eventually, it'll be easier with a team.Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen, and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

I'd screen them the same as you did the original tenant.
