My husband and I are going to be renting out our first rental property hopefully in the next couple of months.

I'd suggest you start asking other investors in your market for general contractor referrals- people who do quality and reasonable work on rental properties in your market.

You should also speak to a knowledgeable RE attorney to better explain what it takes to own and manage rental units in The City Of Cleveland. 

Because I am a full-time college student and I work part-time I ask that the interested parties submit a rental application before I show the house, but many of them refuse to give a rental application unless they can see the house first.The criteria for what I look for in a rental application are as follows:Credit report: I look to see if they have had at least 90% or higher on-time paymentsBackground check: I look to see if they have ever been evictedJob and rental references: I look for a steady income and make sure they can afford it with what they make I also call their current landlord to make sure they have been a good tenant and confirm the information the tenant gave me.I currently have it listed at $1650/month with a 12-month lease.

I will definitely keep a look out for these things in the next rental I'm interested in.

I appreciate that.Looking for some advise...I have few fully paid SFH rentals which are built between 2000 and 2005.
