Note, there are some felonies that are so serious it would be too high a risk for us to consider.LEGAL/CRIMINAL HISTORY1.

Tenants with criminal histories or previous evictions have turned out to be my best ones.

I know it's hard to believe as it was single digit weather yesterday but we have a fair share of homeless people here and "stone cold criminals" LOL.

Take a lot of photos, post videos, post the requirements for credit, income, criminal, so people weed themselves out and the serious ones get through.

Guys who are really able to find high quality tenants (do appropriate credit / criminal checks) and do good / solid work. 

application fee that will do a credit, criminal, and eviction report, which is great as well.

Because I'm the one who wants to know about their criminal/credit/eviction record. 

If the property was in fact held in a land trust, then the land trust company will certainly file criminal complaints against the alleged con man.So the original poster can ask the nut job applicant for the criminal complaints.As for the "legal team" -- talk to them and obtain case numbers for filed complaints (most county court systems areset up for on line case name searches, so one can type in her name and see if any cases are filed in her name), and any filed charges with state agencies that the "legal team" made.And if it turns out that nut job applicant lied about any part of the story, disqualify her immediately and forevermore, documenting everything and saving your records.

If you run rent about 15% higher, you will most likely attract those individuals who cannot rent at normally-priced places because they've had evictions or a criminal history. 

I learned too late that he's not an honest dude - I looked up his criminal rap sheet this morning and it's as long as your arm.
