RE: Credit report

Hi, credit reports are first obtained by getting good relevant information on your tenant via a rental application. There is a free one on this site. There are many good companies that will perform background checks from anywhere from $10 plus. There are some good resources listed under "Resources>Links on this site. Congrats on your first rental property!
