Always pull credit, criminal and eviction reports, and it's best if you can get these from one source so they are cross-referenced so they are as accurate as possible for your prospective tenants, call references, both past landlords and current employers, as for proof of income or savings.

(picture Alec Baldwin saying all this with a prune-face.)All comedy aside, it is worth noting that no wall will ever be built, because it wouldn't work, and I'd like to think(hope) that Trump is not criminally insane/stupid.

The criminal report came back with 8 hits ....5 of them exact name matches that were all traffic violations. 

I could understand the bar/trash being a reason for a lack of offers, but lack of showings completely, even before buyers potentially see this issue, leads me to believe something else is going on.As for complaining to the city - they can take a month+ to respond to complaints.

Make sure tenants are screened for credit (looking for many charge-offs), eviction history, and criminal history.

If you do not have a PM to manage your tenants. deal with repairs, find new tenants, do evictions, prep the unit between tenants, deal with neighbour/HOA complaints etc, who is going to do it.

Crappy tenants are a more likely cause of fires because they let the grease build up on the stove or because they are criminals and do it on purpose because you have started the process to evict them for nonpayment of rent.

I should of also listen to bbb.org and all the complaints.

also be careful about selling real estate you don't own... the real estate commission will definitely hammer you there .. and if its agregous enough even look for criminal charges..

Tell her you'd wave the extra person fee, you just want to know the person passes criminal.
