If I was to do another house flip, I would definitely hire more things done to avoid trying to do the work around my regular job.

The SS number, driver's license, birth date, and address are all good for checking their credit, and their account information reflects their ability to make regular rent payments.Also get information for their social network accounts.

I'm sure if you search the forums you'll find some valuable info, this is talked about regularly here. best of luck! 

If it was an accident-storm, crack in foundation, etc, I would do the regular checks and rent to them provided you are fine with the pets.

If you bought right, you should get natural appreciation to do it for you.

I let the natural turnover happen and as the new tenants came in then I required deposits from them.

House is rented out regularly but also has a 2nd homesite that has a septic installed & perked for 2 Bed.

I have a mix of section 8 and regular cash tenants.

Transferring title to a non-natural entity of any kind (IV Trust, THT, LLC, Corp., etc.) will not increase your opportunities for attractive financing and typically restrict you to the private money market (low LTV, premium rates and higher fees).

Then, once you have carried that for a certain time period other 'regular' insurers will take you back.
