Some will have dips of course but not as bad as some intown Atlanta areas.I have lived in GA all of my life but I am more of a suburbanite  so do not like to be in these ultra compact areas so my views might not be the norm.

You screen them just like normal renters. 

Also a good portion of the city has beautiful views of the Seattle skyline. 

It can be tough because of the demographics but if you're screening well or using a good property manager, you will be fine.

(The good news is, my offer got accepted and I just purchased my first parcel of vacant land, a really beautiful lot with a view! 

My current tenants which were inherited when I bought the property are moving next month..So now the real challenge of being a first time landlord is approaching, and my biggest concerns with screening are:Evictions and Criminal Background - How do you check for this?

I need a quick way to screen out the obvious loosers.

Set some tenant screening standards and follow them. 

This works particularly well when selecting older tenants when screening.
