Hello Kyle,When screening applications for the properties that I manage, I always look for:- Income of at least 3 times the monthly rent (verified through the employer)- Credit score of 580+- Rental verification with past landlords (no outstanding balances, no late payments, and the property left in acceptable condition)- No history of collections, evictions, or criminal offenses- No overdue debt (except medical debt)I have found this screening standard very helpful when finding tenants who pay on time and treat the property well!

The person must align their mission, vision and purpose.  

Even a great deal can turn sour if the area isn’t aligned with your goals.What’s been your biggest hesitation about getting started?

Syndication seems like the most viable way to grow quickly and align with our goals, but I’d love to learn from others who’ve been down this road.Looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences!
