There are 2 major advantages to this:It does not affect the tenants credit scoreIt does not require that you go through an onsite inspection by the credit bureausIf you want to pull a report (instead of the tenant pulling and then sharing) then likewise this would:Affect the tenant's credit scoreRequire that you have a 3rd party physically come to your office to perform an onsite inspection (They would check to make sure you are a real business, that you have security measures, etc.)But, yes if you are willing to go through these steps you can pull a credit report from a signed authorization assuming you have a permissible purpose to do so.TransUnion Credit Retriever would be one such source to do this.Most of our customers prefer the ease of not having to jump through the hoops of a site inspection.

5 January 2016 | 17 replies
I would also include the GAR form where seller signs the customer acknowledgement form (as an extra level of CYA).Assigning the contract shouldn't  fall into the net listing category because the agreed price in the purchase agreement with the Seller  should include your assignment fee.

That would not include any carpentry work needed for any drop ceiling or boxed in soffits for ducting.I have used high velocity system on ships, and they can be quite noisy, no idea about in a house, but I assume it would be the same (as generally velocity equals noise with air movement).On the contract side of things, I would only do one contract per contractor, listing each item that needs to be done and its costs.
