Hello Shelly, Good luck on your journey. 

These platforms are affordable and offer comprehensive reports (credit, background, eviction history) without you having to handle sensitive information directly.Verify Employment and Landlord History: Your plan to request pay stubs and a landlord reference is solid.

I personally have no connections with anyone who is involved in this niche and I'm wondering how other people have started their journey.

Drop a comment below, I would love to engage and learn from you all upon your journey, and how we can help and uplift each other!

I’m completely new to the field and could use some guidance on where to start and how to navigate this exciting journey!

best of luck on your journey

I have a great one in Kansas City for over 15 years that I've used multiple times (only auto loans however), but hoping to branch out locally as I begin my investor journey in Arizona. 

That's when I realized the importance of staying organized and having a comprehensive checklist.Closing a deal involves juggling a million things.

Joining BiggerPockets is a fantastic first step – it’s where so many great real estate journeys start.

Do you guys have any advice on how can I get started in my real estate journey as an agent and potentially an investor??
