Foreclosure/bankruptcy I MIGHT ignore, if A) it was at least two years ago; B) there is not a rash of abusive consumer items that precipitated the foreclosure; C) There are no NEW late accounts or collections since the discharge (and ideally, there is some new positive account information); and D) everything else, especially landlord reference and steady employment checks out "stellar".

I do not want to make a rash decision and regret it later.

Even if you do screen a handyman for instance, there's no telling it's the same guy showing up, it might be their assistant or friend who just happens to have a rash of breaking and entering felonies in his pocket.If you can, I would recommend hiring a property manager to handle the maintenance only if any are willing.  

I am not going to do anything rash without consulting a lawyer first, but I wanted to see if there was anyone here who has legal background. 

And you can see their facial expression when you ask them things.And don't forget you can see their vehicle in person, but not when you give a lockbox combination.

Rashed

Leaving $70k on the table by not injecting $30k into the property seems a bit rash, but seller's do weird things.

My advice would be to get your profile up to date with a picture and information, much easier talking to someone with facial features:) Just keep networking, feel free to dm me if you have any questions.

Sometimes when Im screening I feel like Im being too picky, then make rash decisions.

My advice here is to not rush, get everything in writing and do not make rash decisions, buy most of all get well counseled.
