Most do not want to be in the hood or an undesirable area just like you and I don't.

This is a house I put in last summer so the ground is still a bit soft and he buried the truck to the axle in the mud. 

This results in less rule breaking, less property damage and less undesireable behavior.Remember, it is like a chess game.

I found this weeded out a lot of undesirables.  

My list allows for some discretion if one component is lacking, and almost all of your undesirables will lack in more than one area so they will disqualify:Applicant must be employed or have verification of income.

For us the break-in  risk, proximity to other properties and the tenants generally being high made it undesirable to have them there. 

Many companies require you to use their application forms (on-line or faxed/e-mailed), which we do and add our own supplemental pages for info they don't request but we want.Think about the qualities of a good tenant, what your criteria is, and design a process to weed out undesirables and look at credit, criminal landlord history.  

When the Plumber fixed the pipe he did not bother to clean the mud out of the pipes.

You'll be surprised at what you can do and drywall is very forgiving - a little mud and sanding hides all your goofs.

Obviously it's not worth this amount (after living in it for a month I felt it wasn't worth this much even without the repair issues, so you can understand there are a lot of other issues I haven't noted here that make it an undesirable residence - friends and family kept asking me why the heck I was paying so much).
