It might seem really basic to order criminal reports on prospective tenants, but there certainly is more to it than meets the eye.  One of the most common problems landlords run into when running background criminal is how criminal reports are indexed.  Unlike credit where every person has a unique identifier, their SSN, criminal reports are typically indexed only by name and birth date.Our goal is to get the most accurate data to make a decision on the potential tenant.  The first step in ensuring this with any tenant screening organization is to provide a correctly spelled name, and exact birth date.  The best way I’ve found to get this is require a copy of the applicant’s state issued ID along with their application.  This way you can verify the spelling of the name and birth date wh...

To a landlord or property manager, vacancies are generally the worst possible thing since a vacancy is catastrophic to cash flow.  It’s important that when a property becomes vacant the term until the next tenant moving in is as short as possible.Aggregating information from many landlords, I’ve put together a solid list of tips which works well for most property managers.Start Early – Some markets handle this better than others; however, when you get your 30 day notice from the existing tenant that is the time to start thinking about marketing your soon to be vacant home.  Write (or refresh) your classified ad, make sure you have up to date pictures, and begin your online marketing efforts.  If you don’t mind getting calls early to create a list or applicants, go ahead and publish your...
