Knowing you have a fully screened tenant with good history is very important.

How much do they make, credit score, rental history?

I found a property on the Sheriff sale website in my county in NJ and the current status of the property is: Status History (Current Status:Bankruptcy/Adjourned - 9/24/2025)I like the property and would buy it if it makes sense but I don't know where to start.

Wife won't let us house hack (we have a house, and a daughter).

They are also the same individuals who are constantly involved in conflict, have terrible loss run histories and therefore higher insurance premiums and are paying far more on legal.

If you can qualify with your income, DTI and employment history, conventional may offer better terms.

You could view a sponsor's history and look at the returns shown on their track record, but without context it's meaningless. 

Unfortunately screening is getting more and more difficult with workforce, big name companies changing their policies to not sharing rental history.

It's a rare time in history for this.
