They are fully documented and fully legal.I don't know if a credit/criminal would show anything but you should definitely require proof of their ITIN to verify identity and their legal status.

We're able to compensate for that by requiring a co-signer (no double deposits allowed in NH), but the inability to validate identity on the screening platform through questions based on credit bureau records prevented him from being able to complete the eviction and criminal history screening.

Since June 2018, 2 homes of identical or smaller sq footage within a quarter mile of mine, built within 3 years of mine, sold for $1,900,000 and $1,800,000 (each was on the market for less than 2 months before selling.
