What’s the application fee?

that’s a good point, so I guess that would only be applicable after the eviction notice has been sent and all of the legal stuff is out-of-the-way?

I house hacked before it was called house hacking:) Screened my roommates like any other applicants.

You can see how many contacts and applications they've had.

If the house is nice, it will attract applications. 

I would have them get rid of the application fee.

Professional tenants target mom and pop landlords with poor screening processes...rather than large class A and B properties with professional screening processes that disqualify most problem applicants...and lots of neighbors who actually pay their bills.  

A word of advice, if a tenant seems really needy/chummy in the application process that is how they will be as a neighbor.

Also, since you like Sherwin products, their Superpaint works pretty well for this type of application.

The city told us that all the owners of the 6 properties had to submit and sign a new subdivision application so that the city could issue permits and turn utilities on for the investors that were requesting it.
