I know a few of you are interested in how other landlords
picking the tenants.

For me, I don't care too much about the credit history.
The most important is the income, stability of the job,
the clean past two years of rental history. I only
check the credit scores after all the verification.
I only used it just as the confirmation purpose(make
sure there are surprises).

I showed one of the rental properties in Elk Grove this
weekend. There are lots of the interests. And they all
filed application. I think I will the tenants soon.

For this particular candidate, their family income
is good(at least 3 times of the rents), and they have
double income, very stable(one is nurse, another
is county employee). I did ask them why they wanted
to move, they said that their current house is
on short sale(so they will stay longer).

And then I did something some other tenants should do.
I asked them whether I can follow them and went to
their current home. And they agreed. They did have a
clean house, with a very well trained dog, and
the auto is very clean from inside/outside.
And their kids are also very good.

So I think I will pick them as my tenants after the verification.

Is not it easy for only one weekend open house?
