Zillow Rental Application - what to do next?

[Sam Faas]

Hi all,

Newbie landlord here.  I posted a property on Zillow with applications on.  Narrowed it down to a few folks based on my criteira but wondering what next steps I should take.  For example:

1) Do you comapre this report against something like transunion or resident reserach, to confirm everything you see in Zillow?

2) Do you take a paper application with all the vitals, such as SSN, DOB etc.?

3) Call landlord references.

Anything else I am missing?

I've heard bad things about the zillow option. Consider using TransUnion SmartMove.
