Find good tenants with Tenant Screening

Buildium and TransUnion SmartMoveâ„¢ have partnered to make running a credit and background check as easy as a click of the mouse on your Rental Applications screen. Each credit and background check includes:

  • TransUnion’s exclusive rental recommendation.
  • A full credit report with credit score. This report includes Income and Assets, Past Due Amounts, Credit Score (including the factors affecting the score), Summary of Accounts, and a breakdown of Accounts (30-day late payments, 60-day late payments, 90-day late payments, and payment history).
  • A complete background check and identity verification. This report checks the FBI’s Most Wanted List, National Sex Offender Registry, Terrorist Watch List, and criminal records by state.
  • Automatic linking to the complete rental application.

Tenant screening is ready to serve on your Rental applications page. At $11.99 per applicant, it’s a great bargain!

Send checks from anywhere with Remote Check Printing

Today’s forecast calls for a wintry mix of snow and sleet, a list of vendors to pay, and a printer that’s just run out of toner!

Stay safe and off the roads. Use Buildium’s remote check printing instead of driving to the nearest office supply store.

Remote check printing is a service that lets Buildium print and mail checks for you. You’ll never need to deal with check stock, printer toner, stamps, or paper cuts again!

Send in the setup form and be ready to go tomorrow! Priced right at $30 to setup and 80 cents a check, this is a great deal.

e-File 1099s with Buildium

Buildium can e-File your 1099s with the IRS and mail the forms to your rental owners and vendors. Pricing is set at the low, low price of $25 per batch and $2 to $3 per recipient.

1099s deserve an post of their own, so we’ll cover this in-depth over the coming months. If you want to get a jump start, get taxpayer IDs for your rental owners and vendors and start reconciling those bank accounts!  If you need Buildium’s W-9, here you go.
