Rental Property Tenant Screening Services Charleston SC 29492

[Chris Armstrong]

Hello BP

I am closing on my first rental property June 13 which is approximately 1 week away. I just wanted to ask how current land lords are doing tenant screenings and if there are any services that you would recommend. Are some tenant screening services better than others? Would you rather do the checks yourself or use services? Any Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Details of property are:

2/2.5 at 1200 sqft in Beresford Commons Town home community. HOA 300$/month and rent rates are about $1400/ month. Home should cash flow pretty well and the area is going to appreciate very nicely over the next couple of years.

Congrats on your first one! Be sure you have written down what you minimum criteria is that you will screen applications with and use this with every one. In fact, give it to everyone interested in home. I like national tenant network, & I'm about to try their SecureLease option on my upcoming rental. Which service isn't as important as you knowing what your criteria is, sticking to it, and VERIFY everything on the application. Call employers, prior landlords etc. I have on my application that I don't rent to liars :). When showing the property, I want everyone to apply. When verifying, I'm checking every item to see if they lied. Different hats good luck!
