But to answer your question, yes I brought the house to him through my agent, and I will be putting in lots of sweat equity, helping manage subs, as well as splitting property management, tenant screening, etc.I would have hired him as the GC anyway, so I think he sees this as an opportunity to put some money to work while helping me get into my first deal without the traditional challenges of getting financing (which I understand can often be the biggest obstacle).Do you have any suggestions with regards to how to handle the financing in this situation?

I would do it to them all.If the original lady wants to rent and stay and pay full boat for the whole place fine.. if she want's to add roommates at later date then they need to pass screening and qualify.

4) If you would keep them, is it appropriate to have them fill out a rental application and follow through with a screening process?

I still screen and look for tenants that are looking for long term situations.

She was rushing the landlord during the screening process, clouding judgment, and maybe something got missed.

There will be an audio play button, and on the other side of the screen there is an arrow that points down with a line under it.

Be sure to screen your tenants and make sure you have enough cash reserves to cover future vacancy and maintenance.

And then... the webpage emails me a PDF of all this information, which I would send to NTNonline for screening. 

This includes tenant screening, writing leases if you don't hire a PM, managing rent payment systems, filing as needed with the county/city, maintenance and upkeep and how to out-source jobs that you don't want to do or can't do, scheduling, maintaining income and expense records, and the list goes on.

(Jeff White has his systems dialed in for screening rent by the room tenants) As your income increases with your new job and expenses decrease from your tenants paying your mortgage, you will be able to save up for that next SFH 12-24 months down the road.
