I've been living in Sydney, AU for the past 3 years with my wife, but we'll be moving back to the US within the year.

There's a reasonable chance he's a felon or sex offender or something similar which ends up disqualifying her from housing, or perhaps she is on Section 8 or similar and they are trying to hide his income. 

In addition to that, we like to check with the police, fire, insurance, sex offender status, and anything that might affect the operations of the park.

I once had a family pull up to a house showing driving a U-Haul truck and wanted to move in that day.

Quote from @Laura Au: Hello BP Community,I am first time flipper looking to identify an out of state market to do my first flip to generate cash for investment business rather than the buy n hold strategy.

ya maybe being able to choose your own tenant and disregard discrimination laws for race religion sex disability because you owner occ one of the units.. falls under something different but it is federal law.. unless prohibited by state county or city.. the owner of a 1 to 4 unit who lives in one of the units does not have to follow the selection rules..

@Madelaine Au  Good to hear you just went ahead and got more personal credit on your own. 

I also really like that this is a U-shaped window unit which wraps over the window sill, meaning that you get to keep nearly all of your window's view and natural light, as well as it being theoretically harder for someone to break into the apartment by kicking in/pulling out the AC unit (ours is on the second floor, but the safety concerns for first floor units is definitely a consideration you'll want to factor in).Heating.  

The screening includes an Experian credit report, national criminal search, sex offender search and eviction search.  

Last year I received a call from a man renting what used to be my personal home, explaining to me that he didn't have the money for rent, wouldn't anytime soon because of a job loss, and asked me if we could barter rent, for sex with his wife.
