I have heard good things, but looking for BP personal testimony. 

Expect to spend a few grand on getting it tenant-ready (paint, small repairs, maybe appliances).

I am looking to use hard money for the purchase and my personal money for the reno.

Hello. I just put my house for rent but I’m not sure where to do background check and what exactly look for when doing them. Can you please share what you use it would be great. Thank you. 

Quote from @Chris Barrett: Hey Dan, what do you underwrite for cap ex/repairs?

Someone to stock supplies, an appliance repair person, heating/air conditioning repair, plumber, lawn care person, carpenter, salesman, and occasionally an electrician. 

Quote from @Quinzel Waiters:I would just keep looking and follow up with the person.

Find your own set of tradesmen and you can simply contact them directly when future repair issues arise.
