Both my wife and my background is in manufacturing, specifically operations, customer service, and project/account management. 

They pay $35 for credit, background, and eviction checks. 

I'm an asset-based (hard money) lender from Atlanta with an extensive 15-yr background in residential and commercial real estate looking to learn more from the BP community and how I can help those that need investment financing. 

So it's right for him to be wary.Going into flipping home as your first real estate investment might not be the best move, esp if you are both coming from W2 background.

Starting out in real estate can be overwhelming, but with your background in flips, creative financing, and the Pace Morby community, you’re already ahead of the game.

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.

But just hating on wholesaling in a wholesaling forum is so unbelievably pointless. its not dead per se  but it is starting to be regulated as it should.. oregon just passed their version. where to wholesale you now need a license and over site by the RE commission.. along with criminal back ground and a BOND.. and as we know not everyone can pass either of those with the bond being the tough one if you have bad credit your not getting a bond.

Buildium and Rentprep will also need the video tour, and the home office ownership or lease info if you want to be able to run credit/background checks directly without having the applicant submit and then approve you to receive the data.

Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: Hear hear @Jonathan Greene!

All of those people also get credit/background checks.
