Facebook - Tenant Screening

[Marcus House]

I have been seeing in a number of written articles where a number of investors are looking at applicant's facebook page before deciding to rent to them.  It is an interesting concept that I did not consider previously.  How are people doing this?  There are multiple occurrences of a person's name on facebook in the same City.

@Marcus House it can definitely take some sleuthing. I get a lot of this when I screen my tenants in Berwyn as many of them may pop up in Chicago. I try inputting their emails as well. Sometimes I look mainly for the photo. I also try to see if I can find other people on their application and then find them through the friends tab. Some people don't use their name as their profile. The last thing is that you can put their contact info into google contacts which often times then directs you to them.
