Tenant background checks & vetting process

[Jon Kelly]

Hello, 

Could somebody refer me to a strong background check resource or vetting process? I own one rental property, which I've had for 6 months. At this point my background checks and vetting process consists of searching the internet for any information I can find related to the person's name, phone number and email. As I begin to invest into more rental properties, I believe I need a more effective background check and vetting process. Are there certain websites that I should look into, or any other resources? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I use tenacheck.com for background check, eviction records, and credit.  Also collect recent paystubs, confirm employment, call previous landlords, etc. I cross reference everything that was stated to me on the initial phone screen to what I uncover in my investigation into their history and background. BP also has resources for screening tenants and applications. (Menu > Tools)
