On the other side, the most recent tenants in the same house were upfront about a student-loan default, but I accepted them anyway and they were awesome for 3.5 years.Have you ever had a prospect be upfront with an eviction history, accepted an application anyway and if everything else checked out clean, offer that person a lease? 

I know FHAs are assumable from person A-B but i keep hearing you cant do A-B then B-C.

Why don't you put a sign up with all the other signs saying "I BUY MORE HOUSES" ha.Seriously, think differently than the crowd, set yourself apart as the go to person as opposed to just another one of those "we buy houses" sign guys.

As a beginner I hope that my blog accelerates my credibility here in the Bay.Josh - For curiosity's sake do you keep a separate online persona/hub outside of BP?

your other tenants should have 100% liability each- not 1/3 each. let them know that accepting this person as a co-leasee they accept future liability.

Even once we have online leases, we will still make it a point meet with successful applicants to sign the lease in person as it provides us the opportunity to review all of our Schedule 'A' with the new Tenants-to-be and ensure they are clear on things like due dates, payment options and the house rules.  

For instance, there is a local news channel here which every week they post a story about someone whom was ripped off and then they contact the company or individual behind it and almost every time they get the person a refund or get the issue rectified.

If you are reimbursing persona expenses, have an expense report to accompany every reimbursement.

Sometimes, in life, and certainly in Real Estate Investing, it is ok to be the better person, as this lady is acceptably on edge and bitter from all the rather "interesting" neighbours, so I don't blame when she says I will sue. 

I'm a numbers person (a Software Engineer) by nature, and I don't hide it.
