As for smoking we don't allow it even so we had someone set a couch on fire.Your application will be a little different, include majors and do a web search on them for your screening. 

You need to read the loan covenants while under due diligence for this CMBS loan and get pre-screened before you start spending the big bucks for reports etc.

Keep screening the calls bro, that motivated seller is coming soon.

BUT you can adjust your preference to amount of income (or debt-to-income ratio) when you are screening.  

After you've put your work and money into finding that deal....Its a 2 way street its bad blood, all the way across the board, they way some of you cry youd never make it in California, REIn is cut throat to the core...from the newbie wholesaler, to the slick talking agent, the crooked investor, and the greedy banks....

Broken windows, I will pay for the first time, but if it happens again, it's because of their irresponsibilityRipped and torn screens (Usually ripped and torn because the teenage kids are sneaking out of the house at night, via the WINDOWS!)

Look for a good margin in their numbers to screen initially and then do your own analysis of ARV and repairs to see if it's really a deal that works for you. 

Any advice for me on how to do a better job with this screening process?

@Maria Scott - I don't understand what you are talking about, can you post a screen shot?

We would get the one set of tenants out, then go in and fix/clean/paint/carpet the property, screen new tenants and place them, only to have to repeat the whole process over and over again.
