What does your screening process look like?

I looked at two different 2 flats today.

Drug stores and Walgreens in particular seemed very promising until I quickly realized that rent increases were often flat for decades. 

A piece of land came up, 3.2 acres, dead flat, minimum site prep, high demand school district.

I begin running a few quick screening checks just to narrow the list down.

This was a turn-key property that needed light rehab and a tenant was found in 1 and half weeks.Hopefully with proper screening and background checks my risk is mitigated for the future on repairs.

They simply charge a flat fee per transaction and no monthly dues.

We use buildium for our property management software, this allows us to screen tenants and bill the screening back to them.
