-tvs https://www.tenantverification.com/  tvs was the service I'd use to run credit/criminal/eviction checks on prospective tenantsas for the others, a I would track a lot on spreadsheets or databases I keep. for estimating area rents, I wrote an script to pull all of the rent info for my area, parse it all by city/town and in some cases neighborhood name, then use the data on rent, square footage, and number of bedrooms to generate averages and watch trends in the rates for each area. 

You need to become very knowledgable about trends in pricing and jobs in your farm area.

I love the fact that my last two places were in such bad shape some people thought I was nuts.
