@Brian Ellis, I am using SmartMove credit check service from TransUnion since many years. Excellent service and report.

As @Account Closed said... I just get their email address and enter in my SmartMove account, applicant get the link to pay and enter their personal information... I get credit report where I verify address, name etc with their photo id.

@Sarah Stokes, Actually my Amazon tool is sold out... LOL 

My other recommendation is to invest in cities with expected population growth.

Remaining choice...

@Sandeep Reddy, you are right... prices in Princeton/McKinney/Anna are very high. Greenville and Sherman are not completely integrated with DFW metro yet... so you can find some good deal in those area. demand is very high everywhere... 

@Fatin K., Fort Worth and Denton are great area for investment. It is little tough to get $350 cash flow now a days.

@Tyler Hodgson, Good to hear that you still can make $350 positive cash flow. How you are buying properties, MLS, Auction, Court house, REO? There is lot of fix required? you are Buy & Hold investor or flipping properties?

Atlanta is great market to invest...Regarding your second question about what other cities are good...
