I am placing an offer on a 2-family home and my concern during these times is if it will be difficult to find a tenant.A little background.

Prospecting effectively, deal analysis, and financing deals are just some of the areas I have a strong interest in.Quick background on myself; 32 years old, originally from Manchester, England.

Then interior beauty and last last would be landscaping and hardscaping. 

"This beautiful x bedroom, home is located in the established x neighborhood.

I’m also looking at personal/business/landlord references, background check, my personal interactions with them.

Background check.

I have done a lot of background research but due to the size of project I want to confirm with experienced people.

Unless you have a property manager, it's the landlord's job to verify all information and run background checks. 

I've had my current job for 2 1/2 yrs making 75K per year and have a clean background but before I had my current job I was unemployed for a while and ended up filing for bankruptcy causing my credit to take a huge nose dive (sub 500 range). my Question is: to avoid the credit requirement (I wouldn't be able to find a co-signer) would I be able to put an entire lease down as a security deposit and pay my rent as usual so long as my income qualified?

I actually thought the same thing when becoming a realtor as I come from a technical background namely (Cloud, Blockchain, and programming) but after becoming a realtor I realize quickly that technology would not make the real estate agent obsolete no time soon.I will say real estate agents that would like to continue to thrive would have to embrace some form of digital transformation but the idea the technology would remove the need for people in a people-based business is not going to happen until we get robots that look and act like humans ... lol
