Check with your state licensing board. 

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Thanks Scott, ill check with Schwab.

The first thing prior to this would be to verify this is a good tenant, check the lease, and confirm with the owner with a payment ledger that they have been paying on time since they have been there. 

These people often don't understand lending and have a checklist of boxes to check.

Also credit score 680 with no missed payments over the last 2 years and also check their criminal report just to make sure you know who these tenants are, as the eviction process in New York city is very long and expensive. 

We issue each investor a monthly check for their % of each monthly mortgage payment. 

Check out the state of Illinois website. 

Check out Cincinnatireia they are a huge REI group in the SW area. 

Made sure to check the ledger and T12 to ensure that the tenant was qualified correctly before purchasing the property.
