I’m researching how big of a problem this is in tenant screening and would love to hear real-world experiences.

I think the most important thing in investing is screening and management.

All of this passed the trans union smartmove screen without raising any flags at all. 

Hi Joseph, if you have 4 single-family's, I recommend you ask to see each one of their lease agreements and screening processes.

- Background Checks & Applications – What software do you use to screen mid-term guests?

They’ll suggest how much rent they can get, they’ll do the advertising, they’ll do the screening.

I recommend you educate yourself on how to screen an ESA before someone takes advantage of your ignorance.

I actually have two south side chicago properties right in that pocket of Greater Grand Crossing.The key here, more than anywhere else, is proper tenant screening and property management. 

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.
