Forum / General Property Management / Background and Credit Checks
I have recently taken over managing my own rental properties. In the past the Property Management Co. did the background and credit checks for me. I am looking for some recommendations as to whom people are using to retrieve this type of information?

RE: Background and Credit Checks
You can always consider hiring a property management agency to do all the work of finding a tenant... doing the credit check, etc for a one time fee. Than you take over the day-to-day operations. In Ca. the cost is 1/2 months rent. To read more about this, check the post dated Jan. 5th, Hiring property Manager.

be careful , the way the current economy is some one who had good credit could suddenly have bad credit , job and outlook. everybody gets one now and then , there is people that lie for one another also Asolid work history , and good credit score , is a good sign .
