Screen properly and there will be no need to hide. 

I'm an investment adviser and the main draw for me to real estate is frankly the % of income you can return, safely, without worry that this withdrawal unsafely draws down my principal (Show me a mutual fund you can take 10% off of year in and year out no matter what the market does and that you won't deplete).So if you're hiring a property manager who handles all the fixes, fields all the calls when stuff breaks, screens tenants, fills vacancies, evicts people who don't pay then how much of this really matter...doesn't it come down to the numbers?

Best place for screening ?

How Do you Screen Your Vendors?

I am curious if serious prospects are comfortable leaving a voicemail with all their info so that I may screen them at a more convenient time.

And you should know how to screen tenants, and have an expectation as to what you allow on a background. 

     If this issue is important to you screen your tenants carefully.

What did his background check look like when you screened him before renting your place? 

Tenant screening could ensure someone good becomes her new neighbor, but now I am thinking of another approach.

If you are looking to buy something in good shape to rent; I would then recommend you look into the Tennant screening articles on the site.
