First, you did not mention if you are going screen and obtain credit score, employment, BK history, Eviction History, Sex Offender list.

@Matthew DawsonHere is the crux of the very common take on LLCs and asset protection that was eloquently articulated by @Christopher Smith: I've had unprotected sex for 25 years with numerous partners, and I have no STDs and no children that I know of. :)The decision is always up to you.

Demand sex from tenants?

. - At $30 a pop, while it's not the most expensive thing, I feel like it could be cheaper since I only want criminal/sex offender status.

The only people I've ever seen lose a property to a lawsuit are Landlords acting very badly, like forcing tenants to have sex in exchange for rent.

I DO care if he has a criminal records, is a sex offended or something else they are trying to hide.

In February, I saw a house that is in a C neighborhood and later found out more than 10 registered sex offenders within 1-mile radius.

Do you know how many times I've rented to someone that qualified, only to find they snuck in their drug dealing lover or sex offender brother?

I have a certain ratio per100 headcount (not households, not age, not sex) I use when decidingto buy or build in a town.

Listing noted both units are rented month to month at $1,350/mo each, which was on the lower end of the market.What I liked: (i) Location (nice B+ suburban area, close to the Villages and Orlando, 65%-35% own to rent ratio; that particular pocket had low to no crime and no registered sex offenders vs. other parts of town), (ii) Product type (3B/2B duplex with a garage, which is rare to find and is ideal for both a small family or a single professional with or without roommates; most duplexes on the market have no garage at all and are 1B/1B, 2B/1B, or 2B/2B), (iii) Age (2006, i.e. while it was on the higher end of my age spectrum it was less than 20 yrs old), and (iv) Upside potential - opportunity to bring rents closer to market post close (tenants were on month to month leases) and forced appreciation by performing minor refresh with some deferred maintenance expected due to age (roof, HVAC, heater).
