This Verification of Rent (VOR) issue is becoming more common due to lawsuits and Fair Housing issues:(We address it thus:1) If they have high enough credit scores, we do not need VOR.2) Usually tenants can print out from their tenant portal or get a copy from the office.

Hi Kyle, I really like rentprep w/ income verification.

Do they have a track record verification report from 3rd party showing they deliver what they say, since anyone can say anything in the syndication space.8.

Screening ProcessStart with a written rental criteria policy (so you're consistent and compliant with Fair Housing).Use a screening service built into your property management software for credit/criminal history.For income verification, go beyond PDFs.

Industry data suggests over 70% of rental applications today contain some form of fraud, especially around income verification.

Is anyone knowledgeable on VA loans and income verification? 

MyRental by CoreLogic is another reputable platform.That said, the real gold is in pairing the credit/background check with income verification from the source—not just a paystub or PDF.

They let you scale without income verification, and if the deal performs, the higher rate is often offset by the ability to keep acquiring.

Here’s what a thorough screening should include:Credit Report – Offers insight into the applicant’s financial reliability.Judgments & Liens Search – These no longer appear on standard credit reports, so they must be pulled separately.Eviction History – Crucial for spotting prior lease violations or payment issues.Criminal Background Check – A nationwide search provides a broader safety check.ID Verification – Confirms the applicant is who they claim to be.Income Verification – Instead of relying on potentially manipulated pay stubs, this option pulls actual bank deposit data over time to confirm income stability.You're on the right path—just keep building your processes, and don’t be afraid to ask questions along the way.

They are also integrating with employment verification systems.
