but also, I really like being able to hand pick my favorite from a pool of applicants. 

@Michael Baum  I included a septic report with my application, which shows the system is undersized.

We have a short application process and close quick.

I have an applicant who has a Conservator who handles all of their finances.

HI AJ, We've seen an uptick in applications this week as the rates dropped. 

Do you think applicants would be willing to share the kitchen with 3 others?

My last Detroit Metro eviction took around 4-6 weeks between slow application process, bailiff scheduling conflicts, etc. 

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

If you do not feel good about it, deny the application based on the son's statement that he is going to live there, or for other disqualification reasons.

Michael says that it becomes part of the 3-tier application of the payments received by my former tenants.
