Tenant screening help

[Shehryar Iqbal]

Anyone ever use the BP suggested tenant screening website RentPrep? Does it work well?

I’m trying to Screen a tenant Who has about $6000  monthly in income from IHSS ( basically government subsidies for someone who is disabled). The rent is $2500. She says her credit score is not the best at around 600 but did show some proof of income. Any suggestions?  I don’t want to turn as she said she’s trying to get into a better situation for her and her son, and she does have income to afford it, which is nontaxable.

The cash flow on this rental will be very low and I had to invest to fix up the property, after getting screwed over a couple times. At this point I’m just trying to rent it to cover my mortgage and expenses and have a couple hundred dollars in cash flow until I can sell it in a better seller’s market.
