Background Check and Credit Score Companies
Hi all! I am a relative newbie to all of this. We own a single family rental, and a triplex rental in California (LA area). The single family unit is currently vacant, and I just finished getting it all ready to rent again. This is my first time handling the renting process myself - in the past I have used a company to advertise and show the properties and to check out the applicants. this seems like a waste of money, though. I am ready to do it myself, but the background check/credit score part gives me pause. I don't know how to do that. Do you have a company that you use that you like? How do I get permission from the applicants to run those checks? Is it in the application? I need to find one of those as well... lots to figure out.
Thanks in advance! -Alyssa
