I just wish I had paid more attention to these points myself instead of leaving it to a real estate agent. The bottom line here is to CHECK OUT THE PROSPECTIVE TENANT'S information by whatever means necessary! This article is very informative.

Are we paranoid or just careful? Did we decide to become landlords just for the money OR to provide quality housing for those who cannot qualify for or commit to buying a home? I submit that most of what we see at the door are those who cannot qualify for or commit to buying a home. This means we are going to end up taking a "chance" based on our "best shot" at qualifing them and it isn't easy. Attitude both theirs and yours is the key. Be careful!

I appreciate all the free tips you provide. This last year we had a vacancy for 4 months because I screened applicants very very carefully. We've had a few loser tenants the last 3 years. It was totally worth the time spent. Their credit isn't perfect but they have been good tenants thus far. Hopefully they will stay longer than the average 1 year lease. The previous credit applicants had scores in the 400's. Very bad credit. It was a busy summer for me, but well worth it and I had the time since I am not working right now. I consider renting my part-time job at the moment. They live across the street from us! I have found your website to be very informative. I appreciate all the free tips you provide.
