Some of these will be no shows.If I have a tenant that is taking care of place I will likely show house while they are there.If they are slobs or place needs stuff like paint ot or repairs I will not advertise till I can take care of these so house will show well.I routinely use resident research.com for background checks but you Zillow offers online applications for $29 to the tenant.I turned this option on last vacancy and it worked really well.I told anyone that wanted to apply to go to Zillow and do so.

Last I was in there was to help her clean it up and paint before these tenants. 

I wonder if I should use odor sealing paint, cleaner or lay something on the floor before installing carpets and vinyl flooring?

After 3 years of renting to her and finding out she was completely FILTHY, I had to choose peace of mind over money so I terminated her lease.       

I'm estimating $10k in repairs for HVAC, minor upgrades, and a fresh coat of paint throughout.
