Good prospective tenant.... Until I saw there Facebook page

[Paul W.]

In general, I'm looking for advice for landlords who screen there own tenants. Some landlords are very thorough and do criminal history, in depth credit checks etc.. Etc... When you have an A property you want to invest a little time figuring out what kind of people you are putting into your investment. Open source checks are simple. What I mean by open source is looking for people on county public access site for civil/criminal records, social media websites and Google searches. Now have you ever found something that scares you about a perspective tenant about a lifestyle they live, use your imagination. Now with the fair housing act and all that how do you screen someone who is completely different than on there tenant application ? Open for discussion.....
