Hi, my partner and I are about to close on a 3 family home in Brooklyn. We will be first-time landlords and just wanted to get some advice from all you seasoned experts out there on how to go about interviewing potential tenants. Any questions to definitely ask…warning signs to look out for, etc. We are pretty good at reading people, but I know that skill can be pretty meaningless when it comes to tenants. I tend to err on the side of giving people the benefit of the doubt and realize that this could get me into trouble now that I will be a landlord. Thanks for your advice….
