In general, how has the quality of tenants changed over time in your view and where do you see this trend going in another 20-30 years? 

This will be only the 1st time I've had to fill a unit and I know obtaining QUALITY tenants is a MUST. 

Another helpful document would be a tenant screening checklist. 

@nancy pults can you share your Raleigh hvac tech please..i live in the area and would love to have a quality guy like that.

Often turn over rate is a function of length of occupancy (I believe turn over rate is a function of (quality of tenant, thought into minimizing turn over rate (types of flooring have significant different expected life spans), and length of occupancy)). 

I work in commercial RE and there's nothing better than just driving markets, noting trends, quality and type of Tenant and just continued efforts at that will give you a great understanding of the market as a whole, residential or commercial.

Once you have earned some money and mature a bit you may find that it is also part of the responsibility that comes along with success that may lead you to simply want to help a community maintain or improve its quality and value.

You would still screen them!
