I just posted this story in an other forum on biggerpockets. a guy calls interested in one of our apts, we send him to our web site where all of our qualifications are listed. he makes an appointment to view the apt very clean cut guy brings his application with the $35 bucks and pulls up in an very well kept older BMW makes $50k a year and single I want this guy as a tenant. we do the background check and it is one of those OMG moments 14 pages of felony convictions and a few evictions 32 felony's in total. so bad I was thinking omg i was alone in the apt with this guy. so don't worry about the how heavy people are just be diligent with qualifications
