I would suggest running a skip trace on all of your applicants that will also pull where they've lived.

For all we know 50% could skip out or the PM used cash for keys.

I've also heard that the skip tracing on it is halfway decent. 

Assisted living/independent living or bed and breakfast, airbnb, etc.

They jack up other fees And they routinely skip checking for “unrecorded liens” such as code violations, utilities, etc and Rxclude them from coverage in the B Rxvludions.

Unless there is more to the story, I'd skip the pissing contest and go with the easier out.

Assuming time is your most valuable resource, I would say skip the residential game and buy an aged LLC, LLC business or start a LLC, and prepare to do a multi/office/retail deal in commercial real estate.

This because landlords collected rents up front and skipped town leaving the banks holding the bag. 

The cost of the insurance made the building not profitable, so I skipped insurance!

Of course there's another school of thought that would say to skip the kid stuff and jump right into the deep end...depends on temperament, how much time you have, etc.
