Trouble Finding and Screening Qualified Tenants

Davenport (East Davenport) landlords. Wondering if any of you have difficulty finding qualified tenants for your single family homes? Or how long it takes/how many bad applicants you typically have to weed through before finding a qualified tenant? I have a house in east Davenport (good neighborhood) that has been listed about 1 week. Had a lot of showings and 3 applications, all of which I'm rejecting for failure to pay rent to previous landlords, bankruptcies, income to rent ratio, etc. Home is listed at $1175. Wondering if I should drop the price. It's a 4 bedroom (but bedrooms are small, 2 are in the converted attic). Property is clean and in good condition. 

Property is listed on Zillow. 

Appreciate insight or thoughts anyone might have. Thanks.
