Offer a number that makes sense to you financially, not what your realtor perceives as an offensive amount. 

A lot of break-in investigations end with no known criminal and no prosecution.  

If the tenant has been there 2 months, paid late once already and has a criminal record and the roof is 22 years old, then run.  

The background check came back clean with no criminal history. 

If a buyer takes offense a broker/agent needs to move on.

To me, you need all 3 (credit, criminal and evictions).

Unlicensed residential mortgage loan origination activity may subject you to sanctions, administrative penalties, and even criminal charges Let me know if you have other questions

They have a database of potential tenants who are looking to rent properties just like yours, and they screen tenants for eviction history, criminal history, credit, employment history, etc., to ensure I get a good tenant in place, as quickly as possible.  

I wouldn't classify this as a war zone at all but I have responded to criminal violence in the area. 

Make sure to look into addendums you can add to your lease - check out this thread for some more ideas: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/442...In regards to screening tenants, I recommend having an application for prospective tenants to fill out, followed by a required full criminal, credit and background check.
