@John Lasherjust curious what specifically you're looking to do - GP or LP? 

NYC apartments will have a different car requirement from Orlando, but he used that methodology in this specific small city and was an investor from the 1980s-2000s, so a lot has changed, but I believe there is still some truth to it.

You will buy a specific property, in a specific location, in a specific city subject to specific local rules and regulations.

Are there specific tools, presentations, or approaches that help them feel more confident in taking that first step?

It's hard to give any recommendations without any specific questions/real numbers.

It’s easy to say “just screen better,” but I imagine truly tightening up criteria without killing occupancy can be an art.Since you’ve seen this play out firsthand, I’d love to hear more—what specific strategies have you used to filter out the bad tenants from the good ones?

If you have any specific questions, I am here to assist.

Have you identified a specific area in Atlanta yet? 

All the various consumer laws exist specifically to stop bad actors from doing stuff like this. 

I would be much more specific on pricing.
