Im actually just finishing up on an ADU down the road at a different property so that may be a good indication if I can finish it quick enough to see resultsI also was thinking of making the barn a combination of both and make it like a bar themed loft for a guys / bachelor trip and build the simulator in with the living room as it can double as a projector type screen for netflix ect. 

Couldn't have said it better myself mateThe pure fact that the poster is going out of their way to post about us is proof that we made the right decision.We "dodged a bullet" per se.I "touch" every investor inquiry because we keep our operation boutique and exclusive.7+ years later and 3,000+ investor calls, plus a thorough pre-screening process enables us to quickly make a decision if we are going to be a good fit.I have a detailed log in the CRM of basic questions asked that I won't reveal because I don't like dirty laundry being exposed.Plus my undies are Extra Large so I don't want anyone getting a complex heheheWe can sell houses to everyone until the cows come home but that's not the way we view our operation...It's not just about us but also making sure that we can deliver on the investors expectations.Do we sometimes make mistakes and turn down a potentially good fit?

Ask for the application and screening reports like the credit report, background check and application.Check the property conditions - ask to see a copy of the lead certificate, rental license and rental inspection.

See medical/nutrional/fitness professionals, do a biometric screen, and log everything in MyFitnessPal. 

One of the applicants is a Section 8 applicant in the state of California.(1) I want to be conscious when screening tenants, I am wondering should I have them all apply at once and play $40 for application fee, knowing that only 1 tenant would be able to stay?

The PM doesn't seem to be doing a good job of screening tenants and with multi unit buildings if one tenant gets away with not paying the rent, you can bet they talk to the others who then do the same.

Some things just require a full keyboard and screen.

If vacant have a plan for how you will screen tenants or manage. 

Just keep in mind if you rent in Scranton you’ll have to screen tennants thoroughly and put good systems in place to get your rent on time.

I have screened tenants in the past, but it has been 8+ years ago.
