Taylor,

Another viable option would be the traditional method of calling previous landlords. A reference check never hurts. I hope this was of some value to you.

What type of property are you trying to rent?

Taylor,

Two methods that have been effective for me is using an application that details their financial and residence history. There are example application that can be found online or I could even e-mail mine to you.

The second method that is very helpful is to ask the potential tenant on the spot (after filling out the application) to see their current residence. This will give you a great idea of how this tenant will treat your property. If they delay or "him and haw" they may not be great tenants. If they let you come visit their current residence right away they probably do not have much to hide and could be an ideal tenant.

Hope this helps!

Welcome Jackie!

I think it is great that you have found additional ways to create income while being a teacher (I have a former teacher). Good luck here on BP, I am new as well!

Take care!
