TT helps, but I always end up making a lot of adjustments and corrections as TT is far from fool-proof when you have rentals and private placement securities (syndications).

However, before that, we relied solely on Rent Screening, which provided an exceptional service with no issues to report.It's noteworthy to mention that there are several new entrants in the market claiming to offer foolproof tenant screening, simpler income verification, document validation, and bank verification - FinDigs being one of them.

It's not foolproof; it doesn't work every time with 100% accuracy.

I'd like to respond to a few things mentioned:The OP: Analysis Paralysis: It isn't "fool proof" but I would encourage you to more clearly identify your investment goals and criteria.

Even that is not foolproof though.

Don't get me wrong; there are plenty of issues/problems/quirks that old houses have that new houses don't, and an old house can obviously have hidden problems and big repair/maintenance bills too--which is why thorough due diligence is fundamental to REI...but, the point is: a brand new house is not a foolproof solution to repairs/maintenance headaches (and in some cases, a brand new house can be a much bigger gamble than an older house).This is a particularly important lesson for inexperienced investors, who tend to be the most prone to "shiny object syndrome" (the tendency to let nice aesthetics distract from real, underlying issues).

It is not foolproof but it can help sometimes the more transparent someone is when vetting them.

But he warned me it's not fool proof, the seller can choose not to sell, and wait me out.

Do I think anyone has a fool proof way to do that?
