Tenant placement has changed my life!

[Brittnie Stewart]

I started tenant placement in October, mainly focusing on Section 8 tenants. It has really changed my life! But I've had so much success that I want to venture out and do more. I've started doing tenant placement for a owner that accepts cash tenants. Lucky for me, he has his own tenant screening service that he uses; all I have to do is find the person, make sure they are qualified, and get the application.

However, I know that for many owners that accept cash rent that will hire a tenant placement service is going to want to hire someone that will pretty much take the load off of them. That being said, I am going to have to do the tenant screening myself before even presenting a person to the owner.

What does everyone use to screen their prospective tenants? What gives the best result and which is most cost effective?
