After you are set up with them you can run credit and criminal history all in one stop.

I'm starting to feel since they are in it with you, they have more skin than a transaction based realtor (no offense).  

My state has started to crack down on it as well. they are aware of the issues you talk about the U tubes the guru's etc.. they will follow up on any complaint and if its deemed selling without a license then there will be action taken . which usually includes cease and desist and for first offense modest fine.But like when I was talking to someone I know in the division enforcement here in Oregon she made the point that most professions in an around building remodeling lending etc all need licenses..  

All borrowers must pass a criminal background check and personally guarantee the loan.

You have not screened these tenants and know nothing of their credit, criminal and employee records.

No offense taken at all! 

She has a 502 and he has a 574.Her criminal record is clean.

I would definitely include a rental criteria (and/or tenant screening policy) with your application that outlines income and credit requirements as well as how you treat those with a criminal or eviction history. 

I have been using SmartMove and am having more and more problems... ie. cannot log in at times; even though I've had an account for a few years, sometimes the log in screen tells me my account doesn't exist;  applicants have trouble finishing the online process, etc.What other companies have you had good success with for the credit, criminal and eviction reports?
