Buildium also has a deal with Transunion SmartMove so the full credit and background report is only $12 for customers.

@Shawn DavisSome REIA groups provide credit reports at a discount for members. 

I'm not planning to attend, but someone better post a followup report to hold Scott's feet to the fire!

Do not pay fees up front, except for an appraisal and credit report, before a loan is funded.

Remember you have something they want (their money) they have something you want (negative information removed from your report)..... use it to your advantage.

I am interested in engaging a virtual assistant to help create and email me monthly and annual financial reports on my properties, which currently consist of three SFR's and one parking lot (leased out NNN).I would like someone who is already knowledgeable in how to set up and create real estate investment financial reports, including key metrics that also reflect the applicable mortgage.  

In order to prove the excessive wear and tear it would be good to have your own photos at move-in and move-out as well as a room-by-room detail condition report that both you and the tenant signed at move-in documenting that the broken items cited were in working order at move-in.   

Also at end of report.

Getting a STAR report from STR where you compare average daily rate (ADR) and occupancy (RevPar) to similar properties in your comp set would be a starting point.  

We've always found that their credit report says a LOT about their reliability; but then also be sure to call their current landlord
