You should get these things for all applicants:1. rental application with employment reference and personal reference2. credit3. past landlord reference4. check for eviction historyMost apps like RentSpree include all this in what the tenant pays to send you a report.I cosigned for my daughter and her boyfriend on their first lease.

Why not just hire a local real estate agent to handle leasing? 

Leasing for sub sec8 is a "deal".

It's difficult to see how a tenant will be after screened and signing a lease.

I am interested in purchasing more triple net leases because I now have more capital.

It’s like a whole new lease on life!

You don’t want to manage passwords, have guests making purchases against your account, have your account locked out, or explain to your cleaner how to find the % character on a 9 button TV remote do you? 

When you add up legal fees, lease fees, loss of rent, etc. it can add up.

But I have run zero vacancy for the last 25 years as of Aug 1 unless I build something then I have lease up in the off season.   

Quote from @Caliana Johnstone: Realized leasing to a new tenant can take 5-10 hours easily.
