Out-of-state Landlording

[Josh Rich]

This month I bought a SFR in Spring, TX just north of Houston. I live in CA and have run into some difficulty with Landlording from a distance. Question, how do you judge who to rent to when not able to meet them? Of course I will run credit and criminal background checks and verify employment, but what else?

I will not rent to someone with a broken lease. bad credit, with a good length of residence and good length of employment ok but a broken lease is a definite no for me. learned the hard way.
