Screening  I hate to say it but make sure the company you use covers your state because they don't all make it obvious. 

Some call the stock market a representation of human sentiment in real time, and I imagine the real estate market is not too different.

That means I can either have a cash cushion for any renovations or covering some of my mortgage until I get a tenant  or get into a property quicker.- That puts my mortgage at around $1,500.
