They would screen the tenants and then gave me the options of whether or not to consider the tenants.

The first pillar is avoiding unnecessary and risky activities (don't drink and drive, insurance generally won’t cover your poor decisions) and take good care of your investments(maintain your property, etc) - these simple steps will help you prevent lawsuits before they even occur.

However the spec house I built last year 1/4 mile away had one fascia board blown off and the porch screens blown out.

I just now clicked that magnifying glass Search icon up top-right, entered "evaluating a deal," filtered for just blog posts, and watched as a stream of great content flooded my screen!

What have you guys seen is the fastest and most effective way to screen and find potential tenants?

@Carly Christiansen I would imagine that if they meet your screening requirements that it should be fine.

Screen your tenants and don't be in a rush to get someone in.

Thorough screening helps but nothing can predict for a statewide closure of businesses.

This is below what majority of the credit check sites cost (I use cozy), so I am wondering what resources landlords in Rochester, NY have been using or how they go about screening.

For my next purchase I was most definitely see to it that all tenants have vacated as a part of the sale agreement (or I will require my own screening of current tenants).
