Hello, Is there a website for criminal/eviction check for the landlord to use? I have some tenants who are age 55+ and are not really computer savvy. Is there a website where I can go and enter all their info and pay ...

She did a quick background check (typed their names into google), and signed the lease.  

Technically, because the unit was only a duplex, we were not required to have a fire extinguisher. 

The tenant pays an application fee of $40 for a background check and credit report and they can also purchase renter’s insurance through the app.

My background is in Corporate accounting and finance and I currently work FT in Corporate real estate finance. 

How are they placing people, running background checks, accepting rents, etc?

If you have a business or sales background, lots of things with having will seem routine. 

Just a little background for me: I own 3 Duplex & 5 SFH (acquired for $700K in total) with my partner in just less than 2 years and generating high cash flow of $6K every month from all of my rental properties.

Our backgrounds helped, but doing the work (seeing houses, analyzing deals, networking, networking, networking, creating friendships with like minded people, etc.) and gaining that momentum everyday lead us to where we are now.

My background is in SFR and I self manage all of those.
