I'll post in here once this is fully resolved.

You don't want them signing, then turning the keys over to daughter, who then moves in her crackhead friends.

Their “vetting” procedures are inherently weak.While most of the crowdfunding sites were backed by venture capital ( though a relatively small amount), the question that I’m often asked is when and if an individual investor in real property should “syndicate” his purchases, or just continue with traditional financing.   

Rul. 75-178, 1975-1 C.B. 9, holds that the classification of property as "personal" or "inherently permanent" should be made on the basis of the manner of attachment to the land or the structure and how permanently the property is designed to remain in place.

I can't wait to get in here and get my feet wet!

Sure the cash flow of an AIRBNB might have put a few hundred extra dollars in her pocket each month.

If you end up writing a letter, not suggesting you do, thank her for applying, you have chosen another applicant, and you wish her good luck in her search.

You know way more about the other tenant than anyone in here does--but you know it's always a coin toss as to what renters will do if they CAN'T pay the rent.Even with the best renter intake sorting scheme, things change in their life over time, which makes them handle move outs in different (unpredictable) ways.-- Some just evacuate like it's Saigon 1975 (except your new tenant probably won't rename it Ho Chi Minh City).-- Some stick around for a few days, or weeks (for various reasons).-- Some make you go to every length of the law to get them out, making you incur expense (and for some owners) great stress (those who will face homelessness seem to do this--ie. not another rental for them, but couch surfing at a relatives, or in the street in a cardboard box in the snow and rain).Most just move out, but some will create damage to the unit (what they consider revenge) because they have that type of personality.

@Andrew CowlesIf you have a family member or someone that you inherently trust, you can get a Special Power of Attorney (POA) for Real Estate Transactions to have them sign the closing documents on your behalf.  

Hey Nik, we have an experienced team in here and would love to touch base with you if you have any questions.
