This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Tenantify, a service that verifies a tenant's income and employment. All experiences, thoughts, and opinions are my own.
You should know, for sure, that your tenant has an income.
We had a "roomate" for 1 year while we were working in another state. It took thousands off our mortgage that year, especially since our home and utilities were paid for while we worked in Florida. Luckily we worked with the guy for 7 years so we already knew he had a great job and as his boss, at one time, I knew exactly what he made.
How does Tenantify verify income and employment?
Basically, you sign up with Tenantify. They take information from the potential tenant and deliver an authenticated bank statement from the tenant to the landlord, securely, without risk of fraud. Then the employer is sought, verified, and contacted to confirm employment.
You will still have to trust your gut feelings about a person. However, Tenantify will give you a better sense of the person/people you are about to allow into your property. You will know where they work, that they are being truthful about what they put on their paperwork, and that they have the money to pay their rent.
How it works for the tenant:
Make sure you get proof that your tenant has a job.
Tenantify is FREE for the landlord.
The services are always free for the landlord because the potential tenant pays the bill.
How it works for the tenant:
Before you let a stranger into your property, sign-up for Tenantify and get the information about their employment and income delivered securely to you.
Once you have the right tenant, sit back and enjoy the passive income as the rent checks come rolling in and make sure to save some of it for later!
Not to mention the fact that instead of the house being empty when you're not living in it and rotting away, you get someone who should be able to upkeep it.
