I had screened her as best I could, but found out later (from docs left in the filing cabinet left in the house) that she had an eviction history that she hid (it wasn't on her credit report). 

I will have nice new paint and nice white lowes cabinets in the kitchen.I will never ever be a slumlord. 

The paperwork does seem intimidating to learn, but at the same time, this is the difference between making hundreds of dollars(Bird dogging) or making thousands(Wholesaling) The answer has my curiosity... 

Firstly, from the standpoint of a bank, which has lent out several hundred thousand to an applicant, they most certainly would consider a foreclosure to be 10X worse than an eviction (which often times is due to landlord/tenant dispute versus a few months late rent).

@Andres PiedraI've had literally hundreds of tenants.

I love the old beautiful built-in cabinets and stained glass windows at this property, and just fear they are going to be crap by the end of the winter due to the water damage.FYI Zech and his father in law did my parents wood floor in their living room...looks amazing!

The position of the flue is one clue, and where the gas piping enters the cabinet is the other.With furnaces I talked in attics, it's a good idea to see where the warm air vents are.

Again, money is always tight for them, so it's not easy to carve out a few hundreds more for deposit.

It's a simple decision: 2-4k in fees and opportunity costs from lost time or a few hundred dollars to get them to go away.Good luck!

We would send hundreds, if not thousands of emails back and forth to each other every day.
