Looking for rental application and background check service

Hello everyone,

Purchased my first annual rental property in my self-directed IRA (already own a weekly summer rental). Interested in best practices for applicants and background checks apps or services to start screening tenants for Jan'21.

My wife and I have made a commitment to “do something nice” and will be utilizing our local housing authority in MA to give a section 8 tenant a quality place to live...while giving us a retirement income. Doing some electrical and plumbing upgrades in the next 2 weeks to get it safe and in good working condition.

Obviously we want to screen these candidates as best as possible. What services do you all use for applicant screening?

Mark

Hi @Mark Ross!

BiggerPockets has recommended tenant screening companies on the landlord resources tab. You can find the landlord resources tab by hovering over the "tools" bar and clicking "Landlord Resources". Some of these companies also offer free forms and other resources for landlords.

I'd suggest checking out the list provided by BP and researching which company would best fit your screening needs.

Best of luck to you!
