A guy shows up on the sex offender registry for an offense in 2004 as a 34-year-old man.

I, too, am a U of M grad, then went to MSU for law and have been focusing exclusively in real estate investing since graduating a few years back.  

Our leasing criteria consists of:• Requiring gross monthly income to be 3 times the rent• Must not have an eviction within the past 5 years• Credit score of 500 or more• Pass background screening for criminal, public offenses and sex offenses• Verification of application information, including employment verification and landlord verification To provide to Motor City Property Managers:• Keys for each property• Driver’s license• Deed for each property• Banking information if you would like your funds ACH-ed to you• A check for $500 (this will be used to fund the required $250.00 reserve for each property)• Certificate of Occupancy (if this has been issued – on Friday I will have you meet with Tanya, our Inspection Coordinator so we can evaluate where you are in the process and what additional steps need to be taken)

And this next go-round, keep your baseline expectations firm as far as screening; proceed with the full spectrum of screening (an option that lets you pull not only their credit score, but also a full breakdown of their credit history, and also includes a nationwide criminal background check, sex offender registry list, and eviction history check).

But as I was filling out the offer contract this morning it informed me that I should look over the sex offender registry, and it wasn't looking good for that particular area.

Landlords cannot choose renters or buyers based on a person’s race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, nationality, marital or domestic partnership or civil union status, sex, gender identity or expression, disability, affectional or sexual orientation, family status or source of lawful income or source of lawful rent payment (such as rental assistance from the Housing Choice Voucher Program formerly known as Section 8).

But if you are 45 years old and your vehicle is a BMX bike with a blue tooth speaker taped to the handle bars and living with your mother because she is eligible for HUD, stamps and EIB, The only thing you may have to offer the opposite sex is the fact that you have access to running water.

Note that if this property IS in Seattle,  it is ILLEGAL to consider criminal history on your background check,   with a few very narrow exceptions,  basically for sex offender status. 

And AU Gold through Lloyd's of London for more ground-construction and demolition. 

Both registered sex offenders, one with minor children by force the other with adults with violent force.
