You may need to stay old school and use a 30" wide unit.  

Also, I don't rent to convicted felons or people with a criminal history of violence.

Depends what their rental history has been since the eviction.

I am not familiar with the area so would like to get an understanding of the areas with good locations for rental, schools, etc.  

I can get proof of rental history and expenses from him, but how likely am I to be able to find an investor who will want a rental in a pretty bad area.  

I see that school district has good schools .

So you will find some housing around the school that you can rent out to students if you would like.
