Even though we do run credit and background, I refer to us as private money lenders rather than hard money lenders based primarily on the cost of capital.

I did not use the lease feature, listing features, or background check yet as those were already in place when I signed up but for sure I wanted an all-in-one package for when I do need them in the future.

Hi All,I need to start ordering tenant background checks directly instead of through my property manager (for reasons I don’t need to go into here).

Do a background check.

Let me ask you this: is it fair to require a natural-born US citizen to submit to a credit/criminal background check, but then waive that requirement for someone in the country illegally? 

You can't just start a syndication as a GP with no background in investing so I don't know your play here.

I am a realtor in Milwaukee that specializes in working with investors, and I also have a portfolio of rental properties myself.I will get to your questions, but here is some background regarding loans and in general. - If you are NOT buying the property as your primary residence (in this case, it sounds like it will be an out of state rental), you are looking at putting 20% - 25% down if you are going to use a conventional mortgage.

If someone will do that without knowing your why, your background, your skillset, they may have an ask for you and that is what you want to avoid.

What source do you use for:- screening criminal background- how much they make- any step by step that would be good to get them in. 

Due to my background in consumer lending, I am highly skeptical of paystubs and other address verification due to the widely available websites that are out there to generate forms relatively easily... so I like to verify the information by contacting the listed employer using their listed number on Google to avoid possibly calling a friend etc.
