I ready the article below as was quite surprised that someone would think this way. "But I know who my ideal tenant is - she is a divorced woman with a decent but not fabulous job, who is fed up with men and hasn't been on a date in ten years, who is quiet and reclusive, who has grown children or a teen who will graduate from high school soon. This is the kind of tenant who will, if you treat her well, stay for a long time and who will not be delinquent on her rent.
" Indirectly... I suddenly noticed unintentionally that all my tenants are recently divorced woman with teenage children trying to start a new life.
I have one elderly tenants in their 70s who have been my same tenant for 7 years. The divorced woman tenants never pay rent on the 2nd day of the month, but always on the first day of the month. They keep the home like a model home, as if my rental homes look staged. I've wondered if this was some type of indirect niche I found in tenant selection. I got an application today from another divorced teenage mother (a doctor) who happens to live in my same neighborhood and recently sold their $1 million dollar mansion. If her credit score is good, I am considering on accepting her over another application I received is from a nice young family with two kids ages 2 and 6.
What do you guys think about all this?

Who Will Live Here?
Start by visualizing the kind of tenants you want to live in your house. I can't say who should be the steward of your property. That's up to you. But I know who my ideal tenant is - she is a divorced woman with a decent but not fabulous job, who is fed up with men and hasn't been on a date in ten years, who is quiet and reclusive, who has grown children or a teen who will graduate from high school soon. This is the kind of tenant who will, if you treat her well, stay for a long time and who will not be delinquent on her rent. But, no matter who your ideal is, you'll be paid many times over if you can find him or her. It will be worth your time to at least attempt to market your house to your ideal tenant.
