Online applications and services you use.
Hello,
I have always had my applicants fill out a personal information application with all the usual questions and info. I'm starting up my property management business and have been using Google online Docs. I have an option to create forms online. When they are filled out and submitted they get stored in my data base. I'm already using this for some of my clients info. My question is what do you think of putting my tenants application as an online form? Which could have personal info like social security #. I know its pretty secure but we know everything is not 100% safe.
My second question is what online tenant background screening programs do you guys use? And do they replace the need for them filling out one of your applications? Is this a service a tenant can go to and fill out the form? I was reading in one of the top sticky post about the offer from BiggerPockets and smartmove. Is anyone using that?
Thank you.
