My wife and I run collegiately and can potentially get schooling and living expenses (such as housing) paid for with a sports scholarship.

The problem in school is the poor way they teach basic math, Algebra, and Geometry. 

When I allowed HH properties at my company, we screened people to the degree we could (credit, background, income, rental history), but you still end up with some percentage of "crazies" who can derail the entire property and force out your other tenants.  

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

 @Ko KashiwagiYes, we are US citizens, have quite a bit of real estate in the US, a bank account, and credit history.

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

Looking at the history of the market, your appreciation will be 10x stronger in your market holding just 1 property than trying to manage 12 doors out of state.
