I have always used Zillow's tenant screening application process to screen tenants in the past, and it's worked out for me so far. 

When it comes to renting to Section 8 (S8) tenants, there are definitely pros and cons to consider:Pros of S8 Tenants:Guaranteed Rent: The government will pay a portion (sometimes all) of the rent, so you'll have consistent cash flow.High Demand: There's often a waiting list for S8 housing, meaning less vacancy time.Cons:Property Inspections: Your property will need to pass regular inspections, and repairs/maintenance must meet specific standards.Tenant Screening: Just like with non-S8 tenants, tenant quality can vary, so thorough screening is still essential.As for the down payment, yes, most lenders will require 15-25% down for investment properties.

Between wholesaling and subject 2 you will see the size of those communities basically go back to the norm.Hey atleast the gurus made a ton of money

When allowed: -All subletting individuals are required to submit an application to the Landlord for evaluation and screening.

Better locations = better tenants (assuming your PM company screens properly, I always want first right to green light applications until my PM understands with crystal clarity on what type of tenant I want.) 

Just like the last comment, the list of problems we have is just too long to add here, but from the bad screening of the tenant to the work order that you pay and NEVER get done, you will need to inspect your property every time "they complete a work order." 

Currently I'm having a hard time filling my rooms, and it's making me re-think should I allow cosigners if I screen them more? 

I’ll be getting / stipulating the inspection 👍My Realtor isn’t a contractor, he worked in construction for many many years and has a decent size portfolio of rentals and owns the brokerage too, and has told me to walk away and instantly dismissed 10+ other properties we walked and toured.

Do you screen them first, or get to an agreement, let them view the property in person, etc?
