Over the last year and a half I’ve accumulated 45 units and haven’t done any official background check on any of the placed tenants.

@Michael Giannico, your background in construction gives you a great advantage.

Do you run background/credit checks? 

Hi Tom,Hard to know what your next steps should be without knowing your background.If you have zero real estate experience but have a strong business background, you can use those skills to become a syndicator, as long as you find a partner with operational experience.

Are you doing full background and credit checks on new tenants?

I have a pretty detailed application, so I'm hoping I can rank the applicants based on the application, and then verify information through a background check starting with the strongest.

i've been trying to decide what online tenant check service to use. but i've been reading that some of these services dont give you the info they entered, such as social security number, etc.  which service would give...

Good day everyone, I hope you had a wonderful weekend.A thought has been running through my mind lately as I have been trying to digest as much information as I can find regarding the due diligence process for commercial multi-family units.I am an engineer by background, and as my wife would point out, by nature I couldn't be anything else.

Then dominate that space.

just like we see on all the HGTV flipping shows Not a one of those is targeting investors its all home owners..So for those looking to buy rentals there Is more to it than a fresh rehab especially in renter dominated markets.. where PM is KEY to success.. house is of course important but PM is critical..
