Newbie here! My first tenant screening

[Jerry Pierce]

So this is my first time searching and screening for a tenant. Which are the best websites to do background and credit checks?! Preferably free sites. And any other tips on does and dont's in the tenant screening process would be much appreciated! TIA

I recommend using the website Cozy for management and background checks for your properties. It will cost your prospective tenants $40 for the background and credit score check. The best part is, if they complain about paying the $40 then they are going to complain about giving you rent! You should strive to find tenants that not only can afford to give you rent but also want to give you rent!
