I like the premise of communicating to my tenants that their rent payments will be reported to the credit bureaus each month. 

Once you get a judgement make sure to screen new tenants e.g {income, previous landlord, employer, credit check all 3 bureaus.5.

Joe Splitrock you can't rely on credit reports and eviction reports anymore because since July 2017 credit bureaus have taken leans and judgements from 12 million individual reports as part of a deal that they made.

There are only three credit bureaus...everyone else is pretty much just a "reseller" in one form or another.

They have a feature where they report rent payments to the credit bureaus, so it incentivizes your tenants to pay on time.

Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

So, even if it was there at one time, if the person went through credit repair, the bureaus may have been forced to delete it per the FCRA.In fact, did you know: some 70% of bankruptcies on peoples' credit reports are reported inaccurately and, therefore, MUST be deleted?

More specifically, take the lowest score of the three bureaus if all 3 are pulled; but if not, then I personally give more weight to an Experian report, followed by Equifax, then Transunion if you must.

I look at 75-100 credit bureaus daily.

I am aware that Seller-Financing is a great way to acquire a property but my only concern is that if the loan gets reported to any credit bureaus it will negatively affect your Debt-to-Income Ratio and Credit Score in future loan applications.
