Tenant Screening Doesn't Have to Be Difficult

So there's a bit of a misconception out there for landlords, especially, private landlords who aren't incorporated that it is difficult to do a proper tenant screen. I've heard not just from my friends in the industry but from countless customers things like: "I'm not allowed to get credit reports", "criminal data is only available to PIs and police", and "it's too expensive". I must say I can debunk all those myths in about 30 seconds!Simple fact is, all these reports are available TODAY to…See More

New 1099 Requirements for Property Managers & Landlords

This topic applies to every property manager in the room, private landlords, and brokers who manage properties. It's a serious step taken by Uncle Sam to increase regulations and requirements on an industry which is already FAR too regulated and taxed. I for one am not excited about even more paperwork to run my simple property…See More

Comprehensive Tenant Screening - HOWTO Guide

One of the most important steps a landlord can take to protect their property, cash flow, and sanity is to properly screen tenants prior to placement. Failing to properly screen a tenant can result in any or all of the following problems, all of which are far more costly than a tenant screening report. Be warned, this is a meaty document; it's not your typical "3 simple steps" report, but it is a comprehensive guide to making the best possible screening policies. The two minutes it takes to…See More
