Hi @Jonathan Cavallone! Congrats!
Bigger Pockets has created a list of recommend property management companies on their site that I would suggest checking out! You can find these companies in Property Management within the Tools tab.
Tenant screening is also offered on this site through a trusted partner. There are various options available for screening packages; tenant involvement/no tenant involvement, instant reports, hand-compiled reports, and even income verification. You can find further information by going to Tenant Screening under the Tools tab.
Hope this helps :)

Hi @Thomas Phu!
Bigger Pockets actually offers tenant screening on their site through a trusted partner. There are multiple options available for screening packages; tenant involvement/no tenant involvement, instant reports, hand-compiled reports, and even income verification. You can find further information by going to Tenant Screening under the Tools tab.
Also, it is not recommend to accept the applicants credit karma report. These reports can be falsified and also are what is called a pseudo score as opposed to an actual FICO score. To receive an applicants credit score, you will want your screening report to pull this information directly from a credit bureau.
Best of luck to you!
