We essentially had to go to a zoom trial, and were essentially told “too bad you lose.”  

To clarify, the lease is going to be for 6 months, as a trial period.

The beauty of the MTM for you is that you can give them a "trial run".

The best solution is Google's Adworks, and that will take some trial and error.  

I'd tell the couple that company policy is to not rent to felons but that you think you can get it approved with a larger deposit, a 6 month trial period lease and first month last month up front.

And re the clauses in some of your leases about not allowing sublets, that reminds me of my first ever trial which happened to be a landlord/tenant dipsute.

i support having C/D class paid for  assuming thats what you run in Milwaukee.. as for letting us old folks kack off cant get behind that one  :)  you know 65 is the new 45. 65 is absolutely the new 45 and you'll be just fine - I suggest a healthy diet!

You are now out more than the full cost of your $15,000 house and still have a trial to prepare for. 

If the existing lease is well-written and meets your standards, you can keep them under that on a month-to-month basis, at least for a trial.

Bulletproof the entire property on the front end.Hire multiple property managers, as a trial, to find the best one for you.
