I heard a story today from a co worker who had a friend who’s tenants let their dog poop in the basement and then covered it up with paint.

Her parents (who live abroad) are willing to co-sign, but I don't see a way to run a credit check on them or, practically speaking, how I would even enforce a co-signer agreement with them if the tenant and her parents default. 

With a co-signer that met financials I would.

One is in an area served by community volunteer fire department and having watched these guys respond reminded me of the Keystone Cops, so it's insured at about 85% of the cost to replace it.Insurance policies have a co-insurance clause that reduces the amount they will insure in the event you are under insured, it is assumed that you have co-insured the property.

I'm a co-owner of an Edible Arrangements franchise in Westchester County, NY.

Other than that, possibly require a co-signer if you don't trust that they can pay. however it sounds like with their combined income they should be able to cover the rent.

Hi, I have just come across an opportunity to invest in a "Co-op" I am not familiar with investing at all, so this is where I need help to find out if this is a great deal, good deal, or not a deal at all.

@Biko Mulah - have you tried to get a CO (Certificate of occupancy) for the property?

One admits to mediocre credit but offered to have a co-signer.Tenant BViewed the house first (just because that's when the current tenants scheduled him) and was the first to submit a completed application. 

It's used as a co-working space for startup companies here in the city and it's been amazing to see the growth in New Center and the surrounding neighborhoods in Detroit.
