I found this site while trying to find info on how to do background and credit checks, since the first unit is almost ready to be rented.

You really need a business background and understanding of your tenant's business activities besides RE knowledge.

"knock on wood", none of our properties have been trashed since we started doing better background checks, including employment verification, criminal records and calling on references.

IF it doesn't have their name highlighted in a blue background (like yours is above) it didn't work properly and you should try again.

I found out about this site from investfourmore.com, I have no background in real estate other than purchasing my first home from a HUD foreclosure.

I am a mining engineer with project engineering background for a few different mines around the country, and have found myself a nice corporate desk job with a great company!

My family have at least 700k that is in U.S bank at the interest rate of 1%.This says that I do have a really nice background for investors who actively seek for money.

For everyone that has been calling I reiterated that I require "minimum 600 credit score, gross monthly income 3 times the rent, references required, and credit/background check required" I then ask if any of those things are a problem and without hesitation everyone says "no it wont be a problem".

So, thank you to everyone who takes time away from their business and family to share their knowledge with us.I come from an analytics background, so it is how I think about things.

Hello all, my name is Ryan Rippinger, I dont really have much knowledge or background in real estate.
