With all things, tenant screening is huge!

How do you screen for things like this?

You mentioned a couple times that you had "feelings" of some sort about these people- reacting to your feelings when screening tenants is a good way to get caught up in a fair housing case.

I am in the process of renting out my property and screening tenants.

I got permission to 'stabilize it"--clean and fix broken things only. 

Quote from @Ryan Fitzgerald: Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for other investors and investment groups in your area.

You found a new tenant immediately, so there's no financial loss to you except for the time spent marketing, screening, etc. 

If you cannot, get the tenants a couple of window AC units at $500 each, and tell them the central AC is broken and it is not possible to repair it at this time. 

This will give you guidelines during your selection process, so you do not discriminate and screen tenants appropriately. 

Expenses: $1,225 (Mortgage, taxes, insurance property management)Rent: $2400Cash Flow: $1,175Overall I'm looking for a low barrier to entry, and will be screening prospective tenants myself so I'm not too worried about the area being not so great.
