Regarding the screening of potential renters, I'm planning to use Zillow platform to do credit check, background check including eviction history.

I negotiated using my background in real estate investing.

It features interviews with investors of various backgrounds, niches, and experience levels.2.

I got lucky that the tenant wanted a house in my neighborhood to keep kids close to their schoolsHouse was listed for 1750, they offered 2250 but I declined , so they offered $3k, ended up renting the house for $3250 ($250 pet rent) per month, for 3 month, open to extension if needed.I met the tenant and did the background check on them, I felt comfortable renting to them THD takes time with approving the property, but they were quick to approve the lease, and they sent me the checks the next day after lease signingMy house is not furnished, and they were ok with that , they actually work with a company that provides furniture for the tenant, and they coordinate the delivery and setup of furniture on the lease start dateOverall I like the experience working with them , but hey today is day #1 (out of a possible 3 months), so I will update this post if anything wrong happens or if I notice any red flags

Spell out the complete agreement of how expenses, profits (or losses), and other responsibilities are to be split—put everything in writing.Do a background check on the partner to confirm there are no outstanding liens, judgments, or active lawsuits against them.Hope these suggestions help.

Each will do a credit/background check for you and allow you or the tenant to pay. 

For background I work in Capital Markets at a commercial real estate mortgage bank and I am a fully licensed real estate sales broker in NC.

I do not charge an application fee until I am ready to offer the unit to an applicant assuming that there is no disqualifying info on the credit/background report which I do run even though I don't require good credit.

We use Avail.co to do the background checks, prepare and store leases, and to offer the required renter's insurance policy.Stessa.com does a good enough job acting as a free substitute for Quickbooks.AirBnB and Furnishedfinder.com for listing the space (though I will be trying MiniStays soon).
