Zillow rental manager
Has anyone used zillow rental manager to screen tenants? I'm interested to hear feedback, particularly on the screening results.
I have always listed my rentals on zillow, then used Rentler for the application (and rent payment), and then used RentPrep to screen. I love RentPrep and have gotten comfortable with the credit and background reports they provide. But I am considering using Zillow for everything - listing, application, screenings. The appeal of a one-stop shop seems nice, but I'm curious how they stack up to RentPrep?

I try to stay away from a "one stop shop" because they usually do everything "ok", and nothing "great". Something to also consider is that zillow is now charging for listings in many markets. Are they already doing that in your market? If not, it's probably coming. If you only do one or two listings a year, it's not a big deal, but as you scale up, your mind may change.
Personally, I don't want to be so invested in one spot that they have me by the you know whats. Sorry I don't have the answer you're looking for. We use cozy.co for our background / credit checks. Have been pretty happy with them!
