With that being the case, how can you screen and not get sued?  

To mitigate this risk, I always screen tenants thoroughly and have a solid lease agreement in place with clear expectations and consequences for breaking the rules.

owners with an out of state address, etc  is going to be the key to finding a distressed buyer.Here is screen shots of texts to my phone. 

When I do reach out to agents and property managers, what are some good questions to use to screen your potential team?

The potential is there in Reading, you just have to screen the Property Management to the tee and hope their screening process for tenants is also bullet proof. 

They may simply be doing a good job screening.

Without screening you are in for a world of hurt one of these days.

I certainly have rented some of my nicer units for above the average going rent for the area. 4) Buldium has a built in application, application fee collection, and screening (although it takes a bit of effort to get them all set up properly).

Not that I'd make an investing decision purely off of google street view obviously but I'm using it as one of my screening factors.This one neighborhood I'm looking at looks very nice.

If @Gordon Cuffe's suggestion doesn't work, I would just suggest pre-screening your buyers more and building rapport.
