Have you gone online and searched job growth or population growth in any of the numerous metros in this area?

@Justin N Yurchak look up citydata.com, the milken report, and Marcus and millichap report. the last 2 are multifamily focused but provide applicable market data for top markets

Arizona had the 3rd largest year-over-year numeric population increase which was 122,693 or a gain of 330 people per day!

Sometimes it's ambiguous, but even then, why should I bother with the company that has numerous unresolved lawsuits, versus another company that is virtually the same but has none.

Aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications -- pulled reports from TransUnion, which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

Once you make an offer and are under contract, there will be a whole new list of documents to request, the highlights being all leases, tenant applications, and vendor contracts.One thing I encourage my clients to do, is ask their lender what documentation they'll want in order to underwrite the deal.

@Sami Gren I would keep looking at other applicants and reject these two.
