Lucky I did as the poor person who responded confirmed that her identity was stolen.I have another rental and a prospective tenant and want to see if there is a way I can verify her identity.  

I made my units A quality. 

It's not 100% accurate because one person might have a smartphone and one or two tablets, but it's one more data point that helps me keep tabs on my owners' properties.Hope that helps!

I find it strange that not a single person has come forward yet to give any type of experience, good or bad, with Citrona Homes.

The rationale being you are reducing your personal housing costs as the rented unit will be covering some of the costs. 

My friend wants to include me in on this so we can both achieve financial freedom together.The plan currently is to take out a personal loan together for the $20,000, put in $5,000-10,000 worth of work into the property to make it livable as soon as possible, move into the property ourselves so we don't have to pay rent anymore, and then refinance as soon as possible.

Help me think through the pros and cons to determine whom I should rent to:Candidate 1: Single recently divorced person with a 65 lbs pitbull.

Personally I look to find something that will exceed my returns in the stock market (10% cash on cash).

The original lease shows 5 people, no ages (husband, wife, and either 3 kids (or 2 kids and possibly the roommate- in which case is fine as long as they don't now mention another person).6. 

However, for personal reasons the tenant is no longer interested in remaining in this rental and wants to be "bought-out" of their "ownership".First and foremost, a verbal agreement just isn't going to cut it and getting a signed legal contract is the first step.
