@Andrea Collatzexactly where is mysmartmove.com pulling eviction history from? 

You definitely must find out the tenants payment history for both units.

I'm a Real Estate Investor in south eastern CT.  

I recently acquired 2 multi tenant properties in South Eastern Ontario, and I am looking for some good resources for things like credit checks, tenant screening, help with rental agreements, etc..As this is my first investment, I am looking at building my entire process from the bottom up.  

They will want to know:- locations (need that to determine fire protection)- Age, Sq Footage, current limits- claims history- dates systems (Electric, Plumbing, Roof, Heat)- any burglar or fire alarmsthey may need- do the tenants have pets- are there in ground tanks- who the current coverage is with and when it renews- tax id for the owner (FEIN for corp/LLC or SS # for individual)With that info, it may be a quick answer as to whether or not your current carrier is competitive or they  may need to rate it up.

Property history aka chain of title6.

Even where tenants do not own the homes I have heard that turnover is not any higher than other forms of low income housing when properly managed ex. credit checks for tenants, no tenants allowed with extensive eviction history, etc. 

Hi all,New to BP forums and this is my first topic, so I apologize if it's in the wrong forum.I'm looking to get my first deal and started off with a 37-unit condo association located in eastern Connecticut.

I'd say if you're looking to buy and hold for a long period of time it's never a bad idea to invest in real estate due to the history of appreciation, however a short term investment in real estate purchased now might be a bad idea.

When you don't have a two year tax history of rental activity, the lender will usually accept an executed lease then use 75% of the lease income and 100% of your recurring expenses in the DTI calculations.
