Tenant Screening

How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

We strive to rent your investment property quickly, but our priority is to find the RIGHT tenant rather than just the fast tenant. Investing time upfront to secure the best tenant ensures a positive and hassle-free experience for everyone involved.

Many people believe that a quick credit check and employment verification are sufficient, but there’s much more to it. Our comprehensive tenant screening process goes deeper, collecting extensive information on the following:

  • Credit Check
  • Employment verification
  • Debt to income ratios
  • Eviction history check
  • Criminal history check
  • Previous landlord calls

 

Our screening process goes beyond just credit scores – we conduct a thorough evaluation of each applicant. This comprehensive approach has proven to be highly successful.
