We only charge what the actual background check costs, and once we select a candidate, anyone else in line whose background check hasn't been ran gets their application fee back.

If you decide to continue to work with him, this would be a good time to run a background check on him if you haven't already done so.

But first a brief background:  I've been a BP member for nearly a year, and just went pro (scored the 'old price' savings!).   

Sounds like the agent did not do a background check or hid things about their background from you which is another issue, but nothing you can do about that now. 

My dilemma is I had two groups send in applications at the same time, pass background & credit check but one group is significantly better candidates. 

The applicant pays the fee for the credit check and background check, you also don’t see any of the sensitive information.

I use Cozy for background and credit checks, I take the cost off the first months rent if they are approved. 

I did a background check and called 3 separate references from real estate professionals in the area that know Mr.

I was sent a packet that included statistics on the markets they operate in, local economic stats, demographic analysis, stats on their vacancy rates, and some background on the MI.

My background is more in the buy and hold realm and I would be a mostly passive partner if I joined the deal.I'm trying to run the numbers and decide if this deal makes sense to pursue further or not, but it's hard to know what I don't know.Any thoughts or advice you could provide would be appreciated!
