Background and Credit Checks

[Gavin Carrigan]

Greetings all!

First off, first time posting in the forums and novice in REI......for now. Looking for some 'quick tips'

Closing on my first property in nine days. I've been doing due diligence and then some and have virtually everything in line. Couple of outstanding questions if anyone would be so kind as to advise.

1:  Does anyone have a suggestion on a credit/background check vehicle that is simple and accurate? Specifically how does anyone and everyone who has used mysmartmove like it?

2: My property is a duplex with one vacant 2 bedroom and one occupied by a young family of four (two boys under three years old) that have never missed a payment but their rent is easily 100+ below market. The current tenants are month to month based on a very simplistic lease from 2010 and have never had a rent increase.  What would you all suggest I do with my inherited tenants?

Thanks in advance all!
