I start looking 2 months ahead to insure I have plenty of applicants and that they have given proper notice to their present landlord.

Do not try to cherry pick the best applicant.  

Usually just a bank statement or two, ID and an application should suffice.

I learn better with application.

Cozy.coCozy does tenant screening ($40 application fee for a tenant credit report and background check) and does rent collection for free.

Make the stronger applicant the primary person, even if they are only stronger by a little.  

we bought 7 sfh in Cleveland area late last year till now.wanted to see how we can refi it .1 we bought in the name of LLC so conventional financing might not be an option.2. we live in California so no small banks can lend.3. we are three partners and two of us on working visa.4. properties price is 50-70k our plan to buy properties for less than market rate and refi it after fix up. everything else is turning out great except lending any expert advice will be helpful.all of us with great credit score and great full time job we are doing buy and hold from last 4 years here is California

@Rahul BhattYou have a lot of options out there, but one of the things that may hamper your end financing is the guys who are here on Visa's.  

The property is located in a low income part of town (not the best area but not the worst either) and I tend to get applicants that have low credit scores.

While processing a loan application I was making the bank discovered a $52,000 balance in an IRA, sitting in a brokerage account in my name.
