Tenant Screening Tips

[Casey Moen]

My husband and I are still fairly new to REI. We've only been doing this for a year and a half but we have 8 units. All of our rentals are higher end ($1300 a month) for this area. However, we just closed on a triplex that is in the $650 range per unit. This is the first time we have had to actually screen the tenants as most of our others were inherited. Another landlord told me a website he uses. I was wondering if anyone else uses Wisconsin Circuit Court Access website when screening tenants?

@Marcus Auerbach thank you so much. That's great info. I think I'll check it out. We have found, like you, that calling landlords doesn't really help. I appreciate everything.
