What is the best way to screeen a tenant? Does anyone have a website that they recommend for background checks? I have already dealt with an eviction of a tenant because I went with a “good” feeling. What are some of the criteria you guys use to determined if a persons is a potential good tenant or not?
BiggerPocket's "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" goes into significant detail on the screening process. Otherwise, you can check out "Tenant Screening: The Ultimate Guide" at https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/2...
I use TransUnion SmartMove to perform the credit and background checks.
