Text, email, security cam, or meetbefore check-in?

If you are using county records, what terms are you searching for, arrest records, evictions, sex offenders etc...?

They substantially damaged many items (destroyed outdoor sectional, left $700 vacuum OUTSIDE in the rain, destroyed marble countertops, scratched wood floors, and various other items including leaving various personal items randomly throughout the home (including sex toys) that I had to dispose of.Fully documented items using an Excel spreadsheet.  

@Lisa StewartHey Lisa, I have to ask you another question Say I have 5-6 good solid APPLICANTS, all paid the fee and my third party did their due diligence ( however they do that ) and tells me, “ Cam Here are the 5 applicants you should choose from now “ - 5 solid applicants applied, only 1 gets the home, so it’s not necessarily a “ bad credit “ or “ felony “ or any specific reason that someone wouldn’t be awarded the home.

I've seen listing with pictures taken from a potato cam.

@Cam JimmyThis is basically how it is done.
