And I rescued another small group that thought it was OK to buy these with NO equity or negative equity like we see people doing today they did about 35 of them .. then sold on lease options and those started defaulting left and right and you had a big mess.. they went broke and were lucky to not get criminally charged as the sellers of these got thier credit destroyed. 

I weigh more on making 3x rent and having great rental history of on time payments with no evictions, no lease violations or violent criminal history.

Non-compliance can result in penalties up to $500 per day and potential criminal charges.

So far I have just used www.mysmartmove.com which is recommended by BP, but it doesn't give an evictions report, only credit and criminal reports for $25 which means I would have to use another service to do the full background check.

However, the law remains in effect, and the Department of Justice has appealed the decision, adding further uncertainty.Key Considerations for Businesses:1.

@Sarah LewisRentRedi is partnered with TransUnion for screening and provides the Full report for credit, criminal and eviction.

Use services that can validate the authenticity of documents and employment history.Require Detailed Applications: Ensure that the rental application captures comprehensive information, making it harder for fraudulent applicants to provide fake details.Conduct In-Person Interviews: Meeting applicants in person can provide additional insights into the authenticity of their application and allows you to ask follow-up questions based on the details they've provided.Utilize Professional Screening Services: Professional tenant screening services are invaluable for conducting background checks, credit checks, and criminal history checks.

There is a ton of risk for the seller as we know in these deals and there are bad actors in these deals as well.. ran into many of them buy sub to never pay of the mortgage rip the rents and down the road..some off those folks got criminally charged and got prison time..

PS Rochester and Buffalo were ground zero for much of this stuff also there were groups buying those homes for 10k packaging them up and selling them for 80k to investors from England. the city / state finally cracked down on that and there was some folks that got in trouble on the criminal side of it.. you can google it.. wont mention names but you can find it if you dig deep enoughBut this is nothing new.. buying hood rates for pennies and selling them for dollars to foreigners and unsuspecting out of state folks. 

So I get this referral from a relative about a tenant who has good credit score, no criminal history, and a good paying job.
