When you have any life event, death, divorce, illness, bankruptcy, partnership issues, business failure, foreclosure or in the event someone's assets must be evaluated, such as for receiving government assistance with medical bills.Who looks?

My question is, we technically filed bankruptcy in spring of 14, putting next spring over the 2 year mark, so will that meet their requirements?

One family had past bankruptcy, another family had an eviction on their record, the third family had a criminal record so I passed on all of them (sent them a denial letter).

One of the secrets about foreclosures is that being first rarely gets you the deal, instead building trust over time, and being there when they finally give up is what works (for example touching base after the judge give the bank a motion for relief from stay on their bankruptcy that has been postponing the foreclosure sale for 6 months - at which point no one else is even still tracking).Finally, the companies that do offer these usually don't bother with filters because there just aren't enough leads to make filtering useful in most geographies, and getting that data costs more money.
