Hi everyoneim curious to know, for all of you New Jersey investors, what do you use to perform background and credit checks on your tenants?

I haven't bought any homes on Auction.com but am pretty confident in the over all elements within the site.

I just found out that a rental property I own is within 200 feet of a potential new site for a fast food restaurant.

Welcome to the site!

Just substitute the state and city and you can look at different areashttp://www.jchs.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/Ha... - A little high level but does mention some states in there.http://www.usmayors.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05... - Employment info a bit dated but aligns with the price rises seen in those states.

You can find them on Meetup site. 

Some companies take fees regardless of performance and others are performance based.

You can search "house hacking" on this site. 

Also they won't do anything with a residential component unless it is incidental to the operation of the business, like an apartment for an on-site manager for a hotel.

Here's the sequence I used to build out my worst case scenario:1) Look at historical performance, which should be region-specific and is publicly available data.
