If I missed previous forum posts that are really complete and comprehensive, my apologies and would appreciate you directing me to them.

BP actually has its own comprehensive guide on this topic which could give you some additional ideas. 

I usually turn to Nolo in such matters because I find it both comprehensive and understandable at the same time.

There are larger, more comprehensive tenant screening solutions that cost more but provide much more useful information than just a FICO score or criminal / landlord registry file.

(Please provide me with as much detail as possible) When i start putting deals together i want to present my potential buyers with a comprehensive report.

There is a difference between looking at a block that has a couple of rough houses next to new constructions versus looking at the absorption rate (what is has gone on the market vs what has been sold over a recent time period), the migration of where the permits are being pulled in a particular area and how that mimicked similar neighborhoods that have boomed, what the city's 20-year comprehensive plan shows, and then what commercial contracts and permits are being approved in a given neighborhood. 

There are a lot of great options out there; aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

Do MBA's need reading comprehension, or is it just mostly basic arithmetic?

When you screen tenants, make sure the screening is comprehensive (credit, criminal, and evictions history).

Yep sounds like a comprehensive plan map.
