We're able to compensate for that by requiring a co-signer (no double deposits allowed in NH), but the inability to validate identity on the screening platform through questions based on credit bureau records prevented him from being able to complete the eviction and criminal history screening.

Intern with a wholesaler.

You still run credit/criminal, check references, verify income, etc.

Welcome to BP,My advice would be to intern or shadow someone already doing the work you're mentioning.

@Ronnie GalindoIf you can wait another year, look into Internal Revenue Code Section 121 - exclude the gain from sale of your principal residence under certain circumstances. 

I get reports back on their credit, criminal background, income, and eviction record and then it gives you a recommendation to rent or not.  

The criteria we consider (in weighted order): verifiable rental history, income ratio, ability to maintain (income history/savings/assistance), credit score (judgement/collection thresholds) criminal history.

Always take that as a given.Run the criminal check, run the credit check.

I highly recommend you consult with a knowledgeable CPA in the area of international/cross-border taxation especially as it pertains to estate taxes.You are correct - a nonresident alien is generally subject to an estate tax on their U.S. situs assets of 40% on the excess of $60,000.

Said it could put the property in jeopardy if there was any criminal behavior Since it’s still illegal on a federal level, not worth the risk.
