I always get the credit report and the criminal background. I also usee my state sex offender site. If the credit report shows a lot of late payments/no payments for the essential things like, rents, utilites---RUN. BTW, I DO NOT CHARGE LATE FEES (eventho I have a clause in my lease that says I will) the way I look at it is if you don't pay the rent, you are not gonna pay the late fees, In my conversations with a prospective tenant I tell them firmly, "if you are late or do not pay your rent, count that as day 1 in my 30 day notice to you to move. I then send a signature required letter advising them of notice to vacate. As far as the criminal info that may come back I have not yet had a problem. but I would not accept anything beyond traffic tickets. Hope this helps

You guys are All AWESOME!! I am gonna make that list tonight. (dh has been bugging me to make a list) I stepped up the door painting today. I was able to work on 3 doors today. I was doing like 1 door at a time and there is a lot of waiting time between steps so it was taking forever. Doing 3 today I feel good about it! Sarschlos .. I'm using water based primer Kilz latex 123. I've already re hung several of the doors already and so far so good. Those doors were left out and about after they were painted for a good week before I put them back up there. I might be biting off more than I can chew. I *want* to paint the living room and entry but not sure I can get to it. If I can get some extra money .. then maybe I can hire someone to come in and do the painting of those rooms. I'm wierd.. I like to prep my own walls and paint so it will be the way I like it (roll eyes) I have a very good handyman I use though and he does drywall work to perfection. He is $20 an hour - which isn't bad at all. But with Christmas coming up .. any extra money needs to go for presents and stuff, so that is why I was just going to paint myself. See .. it's a circular argument LOL Okay.. well I will make a daily list for the cabinets and make it so that IF the cabinets are done then I can start on the living room laxsupermom: I know what you mean about indecisiveness. It can make you crazy. I can't decide what to do about a common wall between my living room and entry. I've been thinking about it for about a year LOL. good luck on choosing your countertops
