IMO, the proper way to screen now would be to look at the applicant's history.

Screen your own tenants from now on.

Ideally I'd like to screen the current tenants and transfer their lease into MY lease on the day of closing if they pass my criteria.  

If a new roommate is found they'd have to be screened and approved before being signed on lease.If they both go they'd both have to sign notice for move out. 

I just wanted to ask how current land lords are doing tenant screenings and if there are any services that you would recommend.

I need my bigger pockets family help and advice on creating a great contract, what fees and deposit i should ask for, and the no(s) when screening my tenants.

The newer properties and neighborhoods tend to bring A paper tenants but smaller returns, while the older neighborhoods and older apartment buildings offer higher returns but also come with a more selective screening process for tenants.

Screen the property management company as hard as you would the tenant.
