When it comes to pulling credit and background checks, TransUnion SmartMove is a solid option for independent landlords—it’s easy to use, FCRA-compliant, and the applicant pays the fee directly.

Quote from @Rachel Seymour-Newton: Hi everyone,So I just got my first application from a couple with a kid for my rental and the background check shows that the male that applied has a felony from 2021 (stealing a firearm).

From my day job, I have acquired a lot of knowledge and skills with; research, specifically osint, fact checking, risk assessment, human nature and I am very organized.My friend knew my skills could be leveraged for real estate and lending (they do both for the most part) as a side gig to earn a little extra.

I can help you check if the numbers still hold up.

I think some schools only have about a 50% pass rate and some maybe 60%, so no need to waste money on application and background check if you can't pass the test. 

Quote from @Marc Shin: What is the best all-in-one software that will allow me to background check/screen tenants, collect rents, and create leases for MTR's? 

Need a reality check on this Cleveland deal.

Who can I hire to check if it’s up to code?

Yes, you should absolutely open a separate checking account for your rental property.

Early check-ins have almost become expected.
