@Joseph Beilke no offense, but typical newbie mindset mistake!

While it is wise to consider your possible resolutions to a bad tenant, the best offense is a good defense.  

Not to mention the fact that the criminals, once identified, can be counted on to dig themselves in even deeper on the way to realizing their jig is up. 

Literally, everything you are saying is false, wildly offensive, or just ignorant.

Point is, yes, this strategy works and MY place works well for business travelers (individuals) and the occasional medical professional (who--no offense--ALWAYS asks for a discount :).

Let me ask you this: is it fair to require a natural-born US citizen to submit to a credit/criminal background check, but then waive that requirement for someone in the country illegally? 

What source do you use for:- screening criminal background- how much they make- any step by step that would be good to get them in. 

I was in defensive mode, not OFFENSIVE make-it-happen-BIG mode. :-)I'm still new, and trying to find partners to help me with up front capital so I can do this, so joined BP for support there.

They're not the ones who sweated blood into the place, so no offense to management companies, but I can't see going above 10% or 15% at most, assuming nothing major happens etc.I will look into those calculators, thanks, good idea.

Do you search criminal records for them?
