(Effecting his credit) After getting the judgement for back rent, you would then garnish his wages.

You can take them to court and get a judgement, and if awarded a judgement, you might actually collect.I would see if you can get them to agree to a certain amount of rent as a penalty to let them out of the lease.

But commit yourself to a certain amount of marketing you will do EVERY month rain,sleet or snow.

Smart Siding or cement siding instead of basic hardboard, Cheap Vinyl windows or a higher grade window, if you're building in Texas - Class IV shingle or a cheap 3 tab that will need replacement the first golf ball sized hail storm that rolls through, thoughtfulness that went into rain runoff/drainage etc then use your judgement.Are the interior doors cheap hollow core synthetic materials with an engineered wood frame or did they use solid wood frames and MDF for the trim or did they use a quality hardwood less prone to damage like Oak/Ash etc.I'm probably going into too much detail, however I pay attention to small things like that as in this new construction build I want to idiot proof as much as I can.

If a person owes a landlord money and walks, the landlord will most often lose, as the security deposit is rarely enough and even court judgements are often uncollectible. 

Active Rain is a good one to comment on for a backlink.

They know every judgement in court, they know who has custody, where the kids were registered in school etc.Do everyone a favor and stop trying to commit fraud.

I will get a judgement even though it will be noncollectable.

If they fall below 100 points they are rejected, if they are over 130 they are offered the unit, if they are 100-130 it is our judgement to put them in a holding pattern to see if we can get a higher point candidate.

Of course the MIA owner will not answer the suit which will then become a judgement which then you can take to a judical sheriff sale & most likely end up with the other 50% interest. hopefully that makes sense.
