I follow a fellow by the name of Bill Gray who is known as “The Landlord Doctor”. He is a seasoned debt collector and has some great advice about screening tenants in the following article. I’ve mentioned some of this previously, but it’s always great to get a fresh perspective.
Unfortunately Bill’s Site seems to have changed, once I have an update I will fix this link.
Be sure to check out some of his other great articles as well.
