Hey BP community, I was screening applicants and one of the background checks have something that’s not necessarily a “red flag” butI want to ask them to provide a few more details on something in their background check.
Is it legal to ask them to explain the situation?

@Jaysen Medhurst thanks for sharing that information and answering my questions! The Fair market value is 155K. I bought it for 130K. So LTV is 130k/155K or 84%.

Hey BP community,
Reaching out because I’ve been screening prospective tenants for a rental in Darby (less than .1 miles from SW Philly which is a low-middle/lower income area.
I’ve had no problems getting INITIAL interest in the rental, I’ve also had little to no feedback about the price being too high for the area HOWEVER I’ve run into a lot of no show appointments (at a much higher rate than I did for my other rentals) and even had prospects pay to do background/credit checks and still have not been able to cement a decent tenant.
Is there any specific tips/tricks anyone wouldn’t mind sharing? I.e anything specific I should say while showing property?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
