I think getting the prospective tenant to sign the lease as soon as possible after her or she has been screened is a better option. 

I did not budget properly for flooring and know it is not wise to pay 2-4$ per sf to refinish the hardwoods so they can be torn up in a couple of years so my options are a rebuff(screening) then coats of poly or laminate.

@Elizabeth Martinez,  based on what I've read and listened to, for time efficiency like @Christian Kenworthy mentioned, advertising sounds like the route to go for general motivated sellers/high equity, not necessarily pre-foreclosures, and start small with volumes that you can handle in terms of incoming phone calls to screen, then put them on a schedule of repetition and follow up over several months.  

That said, I believe there will always be demand for a quality rental home!

Another company, A Quality Roofing and Remodeling quoted us $3,900.

I earned my license in Oregon in about a month, but finding a quality office to work at took alot longer, so if you already have an in, go for it.

I would find a quality commercial agent to address all areas of concern.

Do the math - the park rental fees are often getting to the point where the monthly cost is  not a lot different than a regular mortgage on a stick built house of similar quality, BUT YOU BUILD NO EQUITY!

I’m beginning to think it’s not worth my time to visit this list, since I’d rather focus on NODs or NOTs.Driving for $I’m writing houses that look like they’re in bad shape down and classifying them A B or C quality leads.
