How Do you Screen Section 8 Tenants when you are out of State?

Hello All,

Wanting to start buying Properties out of state and turning them into Section 8 rentals.  

Does anyone have nay suggestions when it comes down to screening besides the basics.

I know some people like to visit potential clients homes to see if they are clean and orderly, but that can be a bit challenging when we are out of state. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Michael

    Screening tenants would fall on the property manager you decide to use. When you are interviewing them I would ask how they screen tenants and what that process looks like. Even if you get a solid PM I always like to double-check the county court records and see if anything was missed.

     Thank you do much for that information.  I see there are many PM out there, would you recommend any one or two you have worked with in the past?
