For those that are current owner of rental home, how do you go about getting credit and background checks on potential tenants? We have a home that my husband and son own in the city where my son has been in medical school. I imagine the house is not going to sell, so we are looking to rent until housing picks up as my son is leaving the city. Because this will be our only rental property, and we may not be using a management company, I am unsure of how best to get the background and credit check.

I see online of few companies that can do this for us, but I hate to just pick one out of the blue. Any suggestions appreciated.
