We had our choice of several groups of students and didn't have a great screening system but we ended up with a nice relatively quiet group of guys.

My family used to manage mid-size apartment buildings and some managed motels and hotels; it must be in my blood.

Just make sure you do your due diligence when screening people.

The city is tough, but it really requires diligence as a landlord and screening is key.

(This screens out applicants who want more.

I have asked Brandon, Jaren, and whoever else there has been to help me, but.. still can't do it unless it's on my touch screen. 

Then for the front door I would update it to a beautiful wood door with a med/dark stain and either get rid of the screen door or make it a dark color. 

all the units would be rentable under the hoa and they actually screen the potential tenants also.  

I'd get premium rent for it.If the tenants are moving out, either the landlord is not screening well, or, much more likely, there is a miserable neighbor that no one can get along with (probably the woman you talked to, she's sounds like she's good and crazy).I rented an 800 year old house in England that ws haunted, and I was all full of hope that I would actually see a ghost, but I was there for 3 years and nothing happened, other than some creaking with the wind.

The final 1% are the deadbeats that we evict each month.Your friend is getting the tenants he has because he isn't screening them.
