Anyone have a good alternative to joining one of the big 3 bureaus for getting good quality credit and background checks? I have a multi tenant office building I manage myself and can't really justify a monthly membership fee + the per report cost. Just looking for a group than can do a report here or there.
I would check with a company that does screening if you don't want to deal with screening/interpreting credit reports. Not sure where you/your rentals are located, but some that we've used in the past (we do screening 100% in house now) are:
You might want to checkout Tellusapp.com, they do free tenant screenings. The website says it covers things like identity verification, income, credit, eviction history and even criminal records. I haven’t used it yet but have heard they have a partnership with Naborly that powers a lot of it. You can probably ask for a sample report, it sounds really comprehensive and the free aspect helps maximize the number of applicants.
