Using Twitter to Screen Tenants

[Angie B.]

I have Googled and researched prospective tenants on Facebook before, but I wanted to share how you can use Twitter as well.

Not everyone will use their actual names on twitter, but if they have emailed you, at least in a Google account, and you have Twitter search your Gmail contacts for suggestions of who to follow, you should see anyone you've corresponded with and their twitter account. Without following, you can simply click on their username and view their profile. I just recently created a business Twitter account (to let prospective tenants know when it will be ready to view) and I have scanned a few profiles of some of the people interested in renting from us. It is very interesting so far!
