Hi,For anyone who's found a quality local partner outside your own area, how did you find them and what was your screening process?

One of the many things I find myself repeating to clients in this situation is to put as much effort as you can into screening potential tenants before hand.

As is it now, I'm looking at a screen on my pc that tells me to sit tight, as soon as the webinar creator logs in I'll be re directed to the live room? 

Ok, I sorta lied, but I got your attention ;-)Although this story is full of bruises, blood, sweat, tears and bad decisions, I still consider it somewhat successful... may not be the best investment ROI-wise, but could've been much much worse :-)Firstly, let me preface this by apologizing because this post is so overdue and soooo long, I'm sorry!

So far they have not charged for anything after installation (screens, latches, re-caulk).  

This time when I chose the tenant I followed the screening process carefully, looked into their past (criminal and credit), reviewed as much about their lives as possible.

Does anyone already have a good tenant screening form/checklist they use while processing applications?  

Just saw a major red flag when doing my due diligence on a prospective tenant. Did a rental verification and the landlord says they owe back rent. They list the reason for leaving as property needs major repair. No ev...

Assuming the prospective replacement tenant matches all of your screening criteria and can put up the appropriate deposit of his own, no.At that point, you would see 0 loss of income, yet still be penalizing the tenant - notwithstanding any legality questions, that feels like bad business practice.

Plugging each address into this website was one of the most important things I did while screening properties.
