There is a fair amount of criminal activity going on in the surrounding area.

This happened recently in Miami Beach (they have already reverted the decision) and imposed fines as high as $20,000 USD for a single offense.

—In all criminal cases, contempt cases, and other cases filed pursuant to this chapter, if a party has sold, leased, or let real estate, the title to which was not in the party when it was offered for sale, lease, or letting, or such party has maintained an office bearing signs that real estate is for sale, lease, or rental thereat, or has advertised real estate for sale, lease, or rental, generally, or describing property, the title to which was not in such party at the time, it shall be a presumption that such party was acting or attempting to act as a real estate broker, and the burden of proof shall be upon him or her to show that he or she was not acting or attempting to act as a broker or sales associate.

Wow, no offense but if your feeling this way you may want to choose another line of work.

And they most likely at this point really want the unit if they have gone through the process this far.I like Tenant Background Search because the information is clear and easy to read, very extensive (I even get a credit score), provides past addresses and criminal info.

They do not have a social Security number, which is needed to run most credit and criminal reports.What's your criteria?

I certainly wouldn't hand it off to a stranger on the internet (no offense).

@Linda ThomasHow does the rest of the background check look (credit, criminal, etc.)?

there is one from Utah called Marquis homes google them.. the owners are being indicted.. they could not make it work at that price point in Indy and got in all sorts of trouble financial and it appears potentially criminal

( no offense) I'm actually quite desperate to get rid of this home and begin my own real estate investing journey but this situation is putting a huge damper on things.
