What websites/company does anyone recommend to screen tenants? Something that would check credit and background? Thanks

@Orwin Smith There are platforms that allow you to create custom rental applications with additional questions. You can also require your applicants to upload files like work pay stubs or bank statements.

Many also allow you to charge an additional application fee to review the applicant. Application services have really taken a huge leap in recent years.

If you want any suggestions, let me know and I can DM you some.

SmartMoney is good for credit check and background. https://ltrnow.com is good for rental history.

Hi @Orwin Smith !

Bigger Pockets has a list of recommend screening companies right here on their site! You can find this by clicking Property Management under the Tools tab. I'd suggest checking these out and see which would best fit your screening needs.

Best of luck to you!
