I'm told the screening criteria credit score is on the higher end .But most of the listings I see are also on the same league.

I actually have two south side chicago properties right in that pocket of Greater Grand Crossing.The key here, more than anywhere else, is proper tenant screening and property management. 

Same for 2-years of job/income stability.Tenant Default: 10-20% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class C rents usually meet program requirements, proper screening still recommended.Vacancies: 10-20%, depending on market conditions and tenant screening.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Should cashflow immediately, at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.Class D Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, but should have no convictions/evictions in last 12 months.

(Avoid managers who profit from repairs.)How do you screen prospective tenants?

If you have only a couple weeks left, screening, getting bids, scheduling work, etc- you'll be WAY further behind with a new contractor. 

I recommend you educate yourself on how to screen an ESA before someone takes advantage of your ignorance.

"I would think most beginners in real estate who have not done a deal or many deals.. this type of thing may be too advanced .. not sure.. but for those that are looking for next level like to interact and want to talk to someone weekly like they say they do.. could be a good thing.. as long as the so called life coaches that take the weekly calls are not sitting in a call center in Utah reading from a script.. like the TV fix and flip guru mentors."

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

I followed the instructions on proper tenant screening and made sure the description and requirements were appropriate.
