Screen for criminal background, evictions, verify employment and income.

Maybe see if they have a criminal record of fraud or public disturbance or anything. 

I have no idea exactly what they did, if they showed houses or whatever, but the bottom line is: if the state issues fines, files criminal charges, or simply issues a cease a desist order that is the end of these guys M/O.

We use iCreditvision and it gives us an in depth criminal, credit, and eviction national check. 

But if I keep out people with hard criminal records, evictions...I am just nervous to mess with 3/2/2s for $150K in pinellas grade A areas because of the hedge funds - I feel like I am chasing ?? 

Because just thinking that i could incur criminal charges just sounds terrifying. 

These include an Experian credit report and nationwide criminal / eviction searches. 

Other than that (from what I read) it really doesn't protect you from liability if you are managing the properties and a court can order full disclosure of property ownership for a number of different civil and criminal complaints.I may not be a 100% correct on this.

If you do credit and criminal checks put it in the add.

Though for repeat offenders, perhaps they could consider it a criminal offense.I have no idea...and I'm sure every jurisdiction will have it's own rules/penalties...
