Online tenant screening services

[Stephen L.]

Newbee (Me) is trying to find out the easy way of getting a tenant screened. All the background stuff, all the calls, credit checks evictions, criminal records, and so on are time consuming. Please compare / contrast  the online service called "Landlord Station" or other web based businesses, local companies versus doing it myself. I live in Cincinnati.

I haven't used them, but I hear that RentPrep is a good source for this. Check out Episodes 62 and 175 of Mike Simmons' podcast "Just Start Real Estate." He interviews the founder/CEO in one, then has them talk through the tenant candidates they screened for him in the second one. Good insights there.
