Best bet with Trenton is tbh- Section 8 tenants at least the money is a little bit better- TBH somebody always needs a place to live and I look at it as someone is always going to get paid for it - Most landlords in Trenton I know are holding the property until the value is goes up - If it really becomes too much look into property management companies, also with the criminal vs. bad credit (I  know its lesser of 2 evils ) maybe have tenants with bad credit submit a letter of explanation maybe it can help weed out even more potential bad tenants -

I have not done this, but I bet you was the landlord insurance to cover you for the homeowner/landlord piece... and then they for sure want renters insurance but I would think that may be a bit redundant for you to obtain as well.
