I would screen everyone including the new tenant don't take the tenant unless YOU think it is a good one.

@Simon W. it appears on the right hand side of the screen usually!

Cars are a losing proposition from day one so from a financial point of view the best you can do is the cheapest, most economical car you can get in terms of cost per mile (ownership+repairs+maintenance).

The screen and small holes are minor and I would have no issue addressing.

I was completely upfront with the seller and disclosed what my plans were for the house and explained the screening process for possible tenants. 

I'm not terribly concerned about the $500 they won't return even though I view this as seller default.

I received 8 responses from 60 letters, viewed 3 practical properties out of the 8 responses, and bought an awesome duplex that I am currently living in which cost less than 10k out of pocket and will provide me cash flow for life!

We use cozy screening and don't really even need a SSN except if we were to evict and try to collect a judgement.Has anyone been successful in collecting a SSN number in court during the eviction/judgement process?
