To run the background check, credit, etc. do I just need an id?

If so then please explore with someone local and knowledgeable for time frame/costs/etc. if its just a way to buy a cheap property and you have little background, it may make you thoroughly hate RE investing. 

Should this realtor have you run by the police department for a full background and ID check in order to show you a house? 

Of course, we also need to complete background checks on each tenant, including criminal, credit, and eviction checks, and a solid lease agreement too.

What I can say is that RentRedi is a complete management service that manages the entire process from marketing for tenants, through pre-qualification, scheduling viewings with calendly.com, the application, the background check/credit check/eviction check; automatic rent collection, repair/maintenance management: the whole nine. 

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

Hello, Background: I am 22 and will be moving to Dallas alone from June to August as I am starting my professional career in October.

Unless you have a background in petroleum or chemical engineering or have one doing your due diligence then I would suggest that you walk away from this area.

It sounds like you have a solid foundation with your professional background in media production and your voice-over business.

It's just I came into this with a background as a classroom teacher and high-stakes language exam coach and I really didn't understand the immense help that my experience managing the student-teacher relationship has given me in learning how to manage the landlord-tenant relationship.I also had no clue how much of a leg up that same experience had taught me to deal on a personal basis with public officials such as magistrates, code enforcement officials, court clerks, and of course law enforcement officials, here in PA most notably our state constables.The last thing that really helped has nothing to do with me.
