Best app to screen tenants

[Manaury Marte]

Hello BP family I hope everyone is doing well. I am about to rent one of my vacant unit for the first time. I have a lot of tenants with potential and want to screen them very well.

What app do you guys use to check their credit and evictions, and also background??

Please show me the way!! Thank you so much in Avanced

I don't believe there is such a thing that could possibly replace good old fashioned personal screening.  Apps can't smell smoke on an applicant who also brings a bunch of rude friends with a pit bull in the back seat of the filthy car they drove up in, who was also late to the appointment and you got to admit he's been sleeping on his aunt's couch for the last year after getting out of prison - because you got him comfortable after chatting him up.  Or checks out all of his friends on facebook....or actually calls the HR departments at the jobs he says he worked at, or asked for a personal check to see if the address on it matches the addresses on the application he submitted, or saw whether or not he completed the application after being asked to do so, or if he showed up with the documents you asked for - on time.  Or Googled his phone number to see what happened....on and on.

And app is only going to check easy data that someone could probably figure out.  But, it won't tell you most of the above.

I learned how to do amazing screening after years of experience, and most of it was nothing an app could figure out.
