the unit I lived in had 3 units, basement, main and upper, and was in between storefronts on a downtown street.

So lay out these details: Exact unit mix and rental price per unit.

Assuming that they look and act good enough for me to show them the unit, I then have them fill out an application and then do a thorough screening (full criminal background check, eviction check, previous landlords, employment, etc, etc, etc).

We do whatever it takes to achieve our original objective.Some of you may be thinking, "Well, if you pass a test, or become valedictorian, didn't you learn something?

6 Years & 3 Years (her)Discussing Goals[In this section I’m looking to see what their goals are and what they have done to achieve them]What are they trying to do?

@John Thedford They have these one-on-one sessions that the mentors would give you advice to achieve your investment goals.

There are some interesting techniques regarding this that are very profitable.Secondarily, Steve could probably also achieve his goals by doing a ten year lease option with language that prevented exercising that option in the first nine years.

If one unit is a 3 bedroom, and one is a 2 bedroom, would you give the larger unit the driveway by default?  

Both need a little work but the large unit is currently rented.After the papers were signed we realized we didn't ask enough questions about the current tenant.  

A unit is on the market for $119k and most likely there going to be four other bidders.
