My thought is is use the Rent Ready feature of reporting his payment history to the credit bureau so it can work in his favor as a trade line, but I'm wondering if this is an unnecessary added step since he can already pull transactions on his bank side.

Hi @Kenneth P Ford,I noticed there were a lot of responses of “messages you” so I’m not sure if that is solicitation, but in effort to help you and other reading this - I’ll share experiences from friends in the Dayton market.
