My background is in rental parks just like this, and now I own/manage over 600 units."

I have had tenants for about a year, who I gave a chance despite poor credit and some other background check issues, because they have a verifiable good income.In general, they are courteous and communicative and even did some repairs out of their own pocket.

Depending on the types of pets and if their financials and background checks come back okay I’d probably do it.

Another advantage is that I have a construction background and know how things get done.

Luckily we have a strong background in construction and saw all the red flags right away.

Verifying employment, verifying pay stubs are real (yes I have seen counterfeit ones before), credit checks, eviction/judgement records, criminal background check and last but not least, a written rental verification from their previous landlord.Feel free to reach out to me with any questions and/or advice.

I paid a background screening service $25 to check the new tenant.

As part of our due diligence, we run background and credit checks on the borrowers.

Dominate that area and become known as the 'go-to' guy.

By way of background, my partner and I live in Manhattan and have been investing in Philadelphia real estate for the past year.
