Down to the county would be ideal. 

Ideally, they should own, renovate, and manage the property.

Speaking of conspiracy theories on demand came out with a movie called The Crash, very interesting to get into talk with others about it.

I helped him to prepare for multiple specific phone calls before they were made, anticipating the situation.I cheered him on when any small thing was done right.I showed him how devastating lack of skills and preparation were to both of us.I gave him a lot of training material.I made custom material and videos for his situations that he was facing.We brainstormed other ways he could improve and have fun at it (watching American movies for 'lingo')'Now, he's motivated every day.

I would think that each situation is different though and these people seem to be ideal tenants otherwise.
