Here is the background:*I purchased Property A on Feb 2016 for $109K with cash, rented out, Sold 2 years later (Apr 2018) for $141K after closing costs. 

I met a potential tenant yesterday who balked at every requirement (extra rent for his pet, paying for the credit check/background search, online rent payment).

What is your background do you want to do long-term rentals, flipping, wholesaling, property management?

Little background on our location, we located in central Maine, not a hot market by any means but fixer upper properties are priced very low.

Show the property, get the application, do your due diligence- credit, background check and then take the most qualified applicant. 

My background is multi family management and brokerage.

I’m looking to invest in the surrounding areas like the high desert area. i have construction background so I am looking to do most repairs myself .I am lookng for property that Is driving distance from me.

Wonder how do people in your area get previous eviction reports--from doing full-blown background reports?   

To be honest 140k+ of household income should put you in a pretty dominant life position even in a higher cost of living area, financially speaking - with the right plan.

A little background on the seller.
