Best renter screening site? Online payment portals?
Sorry for the newbie questions but I have been reading a bunch of books and have an offer to buy my first single family home. I have a home inspection next week and it will probably be OK and I'll take possession in mid February. Starting to get my forms ready - renter application, etc I want to have a system in place for this place and future investments.
My question is what is the best background and credit report site?
I've looked at tenant screening, mysmartmove, turbotenant, rentprep.
It's all a bit overwhelming - I think I want it all - credit, background, eviction, and criminal. There are some sites that do not give you a credit score, some that don't give you evictions. Hard to compare them all.
Next issue will be getting them to mail a check or try some online payment center or app
Anyone with some thoughts would be most welcomed to my overwhelmed brain.
I'd like to keep it simple and as automatic as possible
