If your screening standards have a set minimum this can not be negotiable otherwise you have no standards.

One of the things I’m learning Is that in my neighborhood, I’m having to adjust everything I learned about screening  on bigger pockets.

So, screen and manage them well!!

I only disclose it after I initiate a dialogue with the prospect and they have been pre-screened for qualifying criteria. 

They meet all screening qualifications and I gave them a speech about how it has to remain two units (i.e. no knocking down of walls to make it one place, etc) but I was wondering if I should sign one lease with both units listed, or have them sign the lease twice, once for each unit of the duplex?

His bid was not broken down very well with materials.

i emailed him and explained that licensed gas tech ran 4 propane lines and he asked about any plumbing changes and electrical changes i said a licensed plumber a licensed electrician fixed broken things . now he is demanding a walk thru. i am seeking a lawyer. any recommendations?

Do you have a high turnover rate with all the college students or do you try to avoid students when screening for tenants to get a more long-term renter?

In pretty much every state, the landlord is required to maintain the home in habitable condition, which includes having intact (non-broken) windows (especially in the winter). 

How do you screen prospects?
