EP. 1511 The secret tenant screening program that agents use

🗝️ Tenant screening — what REALLY gets you approved It’s not just about who offers the most rent. Great PMs are matchmakers: right tenant, right home, low risk for everyone. Here’s what matters: ✅ Previous agent reference (the golden Q: “Would you rent to them again?”) ✅ Verified rental ledger + payslips + bank savings (affordability) ✅ Employer check (HR/payroll > a mate’s word) ✅ Details that match (ID ↔️ address ↔️ prior property) 👀 We’ll even glance at public socials for consistency. 🚩 Red flags: • No agent ledger / can’t verify rental history • Affordability doesn’t stack up (big rent, one income, no savings) • Signs of covert subletting / too many occupants for the home 🌟 Green flags: • Clean ledger • solid savings buffer • strong ref from a PM we trust PMs guide the call (≈70%), owners decide (~30%). Ask for feedback if you miss out—there’s always another rental around the corner. #propertymanagement #rentingtips #tenants #landlords #northernbeaches #novakproperties
