How long does it take to screen a tenant and find a qualified one for LTR?

When Columbus sailed, there cities were old and had long addressed housing issues generations before. 

Here are some of the areas that I focus in on:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), Bedford

I think more and more people have become "users" and take a mile after they've given an inch.

I'm curious as to whether others have walked this mile and whether you have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this. 

We're priced somewhat above a fairly new Springhill Suites about 4 miles away. 

Hey Eric, appreciate you laying out the journey.. sometimes, real estate can feel like a marathon where every mile has a new surprise, rght?

About a mile across.

Since you are already familiar with house hacking, I would consider converting your current home into a rent-by-room or whatever it takes to keep it as a long-term rental, then look for another home you can hack.

If vacant, did you have vacant property insurance and/or for how long was it vacant for?
