Credit report and eviction report are two separate matters, although most will buy both of those together when screening tenants. 

And just as @Christopher Brainard said, you're judged (screened) by the company you keep.

I wish the rules were posted somewhere where I could quickly access them and refer others to them as well.A link to the rules is located in the upper right of most forum screens, just below the "Manage Keyword Alerts" and "View All Forums" buttons.    

It's like anything, you need to screen who you choose to work with and their experience.

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.
