Well I got my second less than stellar tenant in two years.

Its a pretty stellar one.  

If everything else is stellar, it would not be a deal killer for me if its a real low $$ and years agoI do have a "no evictions" in my criteria, but not a "no collections", so I wouldn't be altering my screening.

We do use a similar letter pre application, though it’s been tough to find stellar grades on the reports in the market we’re currently investing in, so we’ve been doing some deep analysis and weighing a lot of factors for accepting tenants.

So many folks that come here are first time investors and I want them to understand that appreciation strategies are for investors with larger portfolios who can absorb the less than stellar CoC with the plans of divesting in 2-4 years at a good profit. 

Lots of houses in that section of town that are laid out well for it and you can get stellar tenants (even renting out rooms). 

Congrats Ryan, it's going to be a stellar investment moving forward.

The majority will have less than stellar credit (saw one where his score was 429 - must have stiffed the paper boy).

Again I haven't bought any but he has a stellar reputation of putting out great quality product.I expect to have more information on Chicago area after this weekend.
