Apartments.com uses TransUnion for soft pull credit reports, so you will get the identical report you would get through Smartmove.

I think what you have here is an identity issue to resolve.

To add to what @Dennis M. is saying, it's not really well understood in other places that in these mature Rust Belt MSAs dominated by Democratic union machines (and I say this as a registered Democrat), the best action for OOS investors is rarely within the city limits proper, or even in the immediate suburbs.

@Jim Y.We all want an identity.

Our thought are identical.

Three months later a nearly identical unit (purchase condition and floor plan) in the complex sold for more than $50k more.It's not the same coc I see posts about in other areas of the country, but I think in the long term it will prove to be a good investment with appreciation.I'm a real estate agent so that helped a bit saving on commission.

You'll find two major classes of software, and they both enable you to accept online payments for your tenants.The more mature platforms that are designed for landlords/property managers include Rentec Direct, Buildium, Appfolio, Propertyware, and Rent Manager.

Everything I'm reading about it says I should have that information and I should be verifying their identity.

The more mature platforms that are designed for landlords include:- Appfolio (founded 2004)- Rentec Direct (founded 2007)- Rentvine (founded 2018)- Realpage Companies (these include Propertyware & Buildium)There are also a growing number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by sharing costs with your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).

I had one with almost a dozen home sin a dozen states AND each with full identical wardrobes and furniture at each, lol.
