Consider me a friend in the charlotte market and let's grab coffee (there are many cute coffee shops here and I can tell you where to find the good texmex)

Pick a screening platform/application that makes sense for you.As for meeting the applicants, I recommend meeting them at the property to show the place to them rather than getting coffee or food with them.

Plus new folks do a very poor job of screening the buyer for Ability To Repay (ATR) which involves pulling full doc and calculating the borrowers DTI, honest income, honest debt payments, prior debt payment histor (FICO) etc etc.Plus shockingly (or shocking to sellers) if you bought this investment house, fixed it, then are selling with financing you are selling "inventory" and y9ou owe taxes on the gain in the year of sale, you are NOT able to use installment sale to spread out paying taxes. 

Was able to gain some leverage prior to negotiating which resulting in a great outcome What was the outcome?

Let me know if you’d like to connect over a call or coffee and I can share my experiences or answer any of the many questions you have as you get started!

I would definitely speak with an attorney before selling/disposing of the property prior to the court addressing the joint assets - you could easily open a can of worms.

Did you find any prior knowledge (tenant screening) of pets moving in?

@Tyler Lingle I found a couple prior to even posting this (CIREIA Club) but was curious about others before making a decision on which one(s) to focus my time. 

.: I haven't passed this past legal review so for what its worth: Part of my standard requirements for everyone include income is at least 3X rent, minimum credit score, say 640, Clean record and no evictions as well as deposit is paid in full at signing of lease and 1st month rent is paid in full prior to handing over the keys.

The problem, other than this going against my philosophy of keeping everything passive, is I don’t think I’ll be able to get into the property to walk the inside prior to purchase and have no clue what I’m getting into.
