Thanks for the reply, I'm not seeing a tab for just a basic application. I did look at the sample screening report and it's pretty impressive.

   What are you guys using for rental applications? I'd like something that the tenant can fill out online with information such as rental history, ss#, stated income, current landlord information and such an added bonus would be if they had a rental verification form attached a second added bonus is if I can save this form for my files.

Please note I'm not looking to do a tenant screening.

Quote from @Laurel Chauvin:

I worked with a lot of lease leads when I was a new agent. What I found to work best is sharing the qualifying criteria with the potential tenant before offering to show the property. I found that the majority of the leads would let me know if they did not meet certain criteria. Also, check on their preferred move-in date. Some people start looking really far out from when they intend to move.

I have a standard message I send to all leads before showing to make things much more efficient for all parties.

Do you mind sharing?

I don't blame them, whenever they call or email asking for a "tour" I ask them my questions (11 of them) to see if they are a good fit. Without exception every time I'm in a hurry and forget to ask these questions I regret it, they want to move in in 6 months, they need to see if they can afford it, they want to comeback with their spouse.... ever since I took control of the conversion I went from showing the home from 10 people to 1-2 before it's rented.
