However, many larger companies use Internal Rate of Return (IRR) as also a matrix to assess how desirable a property maybe based on how long they desire to hold the property.

BNI is Business Networking International, a networking group where you get to know one another well enough to pass personal referrals.  

They do national eviction searches as part of their rental background check, and they do a criminal and credit check, too.

You are still allowed to reject that unauthorized roommate if you find criminal or other negative findings from the screening.If you decide to approve the new tenant, just draw up a new lease for a 1 year term (or your choice) with the new rent and make sure all roommates are included on the lease. easier that doing addendums for rent and roommates etc. and you get them to commit to a new 12 month lease so you dont risk move-outs in the middle of winter.

For myself I believe that it is criminal for a tenant to not pay rent owed.

With that in mind, who out there have the patiences or time to take on a free intern.

Many forecasters predict a shift to more CA normal market barring some international crisis that is.

I highly recommend Matt with Floor Coverings International.
