Credit score will weed them out alone. 

If the tenant doesn't pay enough money to cover both rent and garbage by applying credit to the garbage first he will be short on his rent, making him subject to late fees and eviction for non payment of rent.

To get the exact address I have to register for a free trial and it's asking for my credit card info. 

So a good credit score is paramount.

I prefer to target specific properties, typically vacants, and track down a phone number. 

I have done it many times, saving the 3% commission credit to myself without using a buyer agent.

And credit issues post disaster and caused by the disaster can be overlooked.

So, if something goes awry in the relationship and we break up, we want to make sure that we have an agreement in place which somehow tracks what my equity interest would be in the ADU relative to the total property.
