Applicant with recent eviction

I already know the answer to this one.

But would anyone here consider a applicant with a recent eviction?

I am looking at a couple, both have jobs, that can support the rent. Have a recent kid, and seems to want to turn their life around.

Would anyone consider it, and if so what would be the determining factor.

I would consider it if they pay 12 months up front, otherwise nope.

I've encountered plenty of people who want to do stuff. I can't count the number of people who have told me "I want to get into RE investing" after seeing what I'm doing. After 4+ years of hearing this, not one of them has even attempted to start investing.

This couple may have the best intentions, but you're still dealing with somebody who recently had to be forced to move out of another apartment for some reason.
