LOW RENT BACKGROUND CHECKS

[Anna Catron]

We have 2 homes that rent between 1400-1600 and we do the full background/eviction/credit checks before they fill out the application.  Do you find that deters lower rent clients?  We're looking at a triplex that would rent each unit between $450-$600. We'll fix them up and increase the rent to $500-650, but still, I can't imagine they'd be interested in paying $45 just to apply. Am I making bad assumptions?
