3 Steps to Securing Reliable Tenants: A Guide for Property Owners

A thorough background check includes criminal and employment history.

Rental properties have great income-generating potential, but things can get complicated when you have unruly tenants. Fortunately, we’ve perfected a tenant screening process and eviction guarantee to protect your investment and maximize your income flow. That’s why today, we will answer the top question we often get from potential clients: “How do you find the best tenants for the properties you manage?”

1. Strategic advertising. The first step in finding quality tenants starts with where we advertise. We make sure to cover all the essential channels to reach the widest audience possible. We list properties on the MLS and popular sites like Zillow. Additionally, we extend our reach to 20 to 25 other websites. This comprehensive online presence ensures that anyone looking for a property will see your listing, allowing us to attract the maximum number of potential renters. Our goal is to get as many eyes on your property as possible so that we can select the best tenant from a large pool of applicants.

"We handle everything from tenant advertising to background checks, providing you peace of mind."

2. Rigorous tenant screening process. Once we attract potential tenants, the next critical step is screening them thoroughly. We have a comprehensive screening process where we perform a detailed background check that includes a criminal history check. We even go as far as knowing if someone has had a speeding ticket. We also check eviction histories, conduct rental verifications, and perform employment verifications. We’ll get in touch with their previous landlords to get a complete picture of a potential tenant's rental history. This thorough vetting process takes time, but it’s essential to ensure that we find the best possible tenant for your property.

3. Eviction guarantee. One thing that sets us apart is our eviction guarantee. For any tenant that we vet and approve, we guarantee them for a full year. If anything goes wrong and the tenant needs to be evicted—which is rare—we will replace that tenant for free. This policy provides peace of mind to our investor clients and property owners, knowing they have a safety net if things don’t go as planned.

We strive to provide our clients with peace of mind, and by ensuring we have the best systems in place, you get to enjoy a smooth rental income flow without the hassle and stress.
