Should they be concern?

Over the course of using Bigger Pockets I have had very degrees of opinions on who I should vote for concerning a post.When I first started using Bigger Pockets, I was too naïve to even think of voting for someone that took the time to answer one of my post.

Addressing community concerns upfront isn’t just a requirement, it’s a smart move for standing out with well-received projects.

Here’s what could be going on:✔ Legitimate Concern – Some tenants worry that HR inquiries might raise red flags with their employer, especially if they’re still in a probationary period.⚠ Fabricated Offer Letter or Pay Stubs – Unfortunately, fake employment documents are common, and verification through HR is one of the best ways to confirm legitimacy.⚠ Unstable Employment – They may have lost the job or never actually started, making verification impossible.⚠ Other Issues – They could be hiding something (evictions, unpaid rent history, or other financial instability).What You Can Do:✔ Ask for the official employment verification letter – Many HR departments provide standard verification letters upon request.✔ Verify pay stubs – Cross-check them with bank statements to confirm deposits match.✔ Call the employer directly – If HR is off-limits, ask for a manager’s contact instead.✔ Stick to a Consistent Screening Process – Fair Housing laws require uniform screening criteria, so making an exception for one applicant could lead to discrimination claims.
