I was thinking, I gave them the spiel, told them it is $40 per adult or married couple to run the check, and left it at that.

BTW family (adults with small children 3-2-2s) rentals don't do well on busy streets.

Is your block, the one with the property, safe at night for a single female.  

Large dogs and 4 adults are harder on a property.  

They're adults, if they don't like doing it, they could opt out of representing you.But keep this in mind.

In our area student rentals mixed with what I would call adult rentals make the market rent a little hard to nail down if you don't know the area and these two different rental groups.

Always name all of the adults jointly and severally liable as tenants in your lease or rental agreement.

Real estate is the first thing adult life that I have found I have both the interest, and aptitude, for as a career, and it's why I am so eager to get involved in this community and learn as much as I can.

I've spent most of my summers there as a kid and adult, and I just love it. 

We can speak like adults and say that is hard for a $30K investment in a SF (even harder for a MF) home to be good, for almost any strategy.
