They don't screen applications properly.

It's just some code that did not display properly on your screen. 

With the new HUD rules on screening for criminal background, has anyone developed written criteria to give potential tenants?

@Mark Golden Im a big fan of Cozy, their background screening is fast and accurate.

Generally though, I break it down into the "five pillars" of protecting your assets.The first pillar is avoiding unnecessary and risky activities (don't drink and drive, insurance generally won’t cover your poor decisions) and take good care of your investments(maintain your property, etc) - these simple steps will help you prevent lawsuits before they even occur.

Wife's property management duties also included inspecting units, preparing units for rental, advertising vacant units, screening potential tenants, showing the units and processing rental applications.Wife produced two spreadsheets detailing her rental management activities.

Tenant screening (background checks, etc)7.

To aid the investors, each time I come across a syndicator and their deal I screen them using my own an due diligence process that I have developed and I grade the syndicator and the deal opportunity and rank them compared to others. 

Do you have any suggestions how I can reason screens and attic out?
