Does PetScreening offer anything besides what I did, which was call to verify them & their license?

I just got confirmation he got a job but obviously the only thing I can verify is his rental tenant history. 

Inspect to verify compliance.

For turnkey, it's easier to do when remote but verify your numbers before buying.

I verify that information by charting all the available rentals in an areas I am considering.Consider, also, that there are tax advantages if you manage the property yourself. 

I check on real estate taxes, local taxes, insurance cost, etc.You also want to do your due diligence to verify property conditions, easements, neighborhood, and other details about the properties. 

Verifying rental history often takes a long time tocomplete due to applicants not giving us correct landlord contact information, landlords not returning our callsor refusing to give us any details.We also deal with applicants trying to have family or friends pose as theirlandlords.

Some lenders do not even verify if the operating agreement is stamped and approved.

By the time their information gets to you from PadSplit, they've already had their background checked, income and employment verified, and their eviction history has been checked.
