If anyone here is using a VA with a script to prescreen tenants, what are they charging you? Did they go off your script entirely or have their own?

Elliot-RI, I know it said you were using one, but I can't remember what you said they charge. --50.107.xxx.xx

I would not hire a VA,you can be held responsible if the VA says something against fair housing rules,a lot of them are from foreign countries and I would be afraid they would say something wrong because it would be ok in there country but not here.Train your wife,she is home all day right? --72.231.xxx.xxx

NE,

In Indiana a person who gives out information about houses must have a real estate license, so a helper can only ask questions, and even that can be challenged.

In real life, I see no reason to talk to a prospect before we have tjeir application.

I see LLs spending hours of inconvenience on the phone talking to 99 deadbeats.

Info on the answering machine and web, they take a pic of their completed app and text it in.

My screening VA is a retired bookkeeper who lives across town and loves playing detective with apps. I pay by the piece - $3 for each task such as courthouse check, erify employment, pull CR,

We don’t spend a MOMENT talking to anyone until we have their app. Our stress is down and our time has been freed.

BRAD --68.50.xxx.xxx

NE, I pay him a fixed fee every month to do bunch things for me. He is a smart guy and always looks for ways to help. so, I had to prep him about fair housing etc stuff and have him to do minimal in probing..

My VA only involves in pre-screening and do some background search.. He doesn't get involved with SSN and other sensitive info..

call me if you want more details --71.232.xxx.xxx
